PREFACE TO SECOND EDlTiON, 



Ix presenting the CrcLorEDiA for another year it would certainly seem 
ungrateful on the part of the Publishers an-d Author were they to omit to 
exi>ress their obligations to all who Jiave so heartily aided in the circulation 
of the first edition of this book. 

To the Press of the country especially are the warmest thanks due for the 
prompt and hearty manner in which they received, endorsed and gave the 
Cyclopedia of Boston the benefit of their editorial influence. Such a 
unanimous verdict has had the effect of creating a wide, steady and con- 
stantly increasiug demand for the book, as it could not fail to do, with so 
powerful a lever in its interest. 

In order that our readers may have some idea of, the kind words said of 
this work we excerpt a very few lines as examples of the criticisms it has 
received : 

Ilnrper'a FTfrA/y, (New York \ says: "Dexter Pmiths CvcLorEDiA of Boston 
Is a quaint and useful compauiuu to travellers in the Hub." 

The Boston (,'azcttr considers it " the njost complete puidc to Boston that has yet 
appeared. It would be dilticult to suggest any essential point that has been over- 
looked in the compilation of this work, which Alls, with great thoroughness, a void 
that h IS long been felt. It is at once a guide, a handbook and a blue book." 

The Jiosfon liracon .says " it contains a v.xst amount of curious and interesting 
information, particularly in regard to educati<m, music and amusements in Boston 
and vicinity. The article, ' Kxhibition of Battie-Flags,' is a good example of tho 
editor's industrj- and good sense." 

The Jioston Times considers it " a unique compilation and one of value." 

The lioston TrareUrr .says " it is a handsome book, of the utmost value both to the 

tourist and to the citizen. The book is simply invaluable." 

The Hoston Homo Journal thinks " it is a monument of industry, careful research 

and judicious compilation. The more it is examined the more fully it will be 

appreciated." 

The Sa'fm (7occ^^r considers it " the very best r.uide Book of Boston ever issued." 
Hundreds of other notices of the same tenor might be quoted if necessary. 

This edition of the Cyclopedia is provided with a more copious Index 
than the former, thereby rendering the vast amount of information more 
readily accessible to those who may wish to consult its pages. 

The Publishers will be grateful for any suggestions as to future editions, 
it being their design to constantly improve the work with each succeeding 
year. 

Communications intended for the Author may be addressed to

ing is a cojty:

Boston. Nov. 3. 1773. 

C:::p''Show us the man that dare take

(♦The Liberty Tree stood at the corner of 

■NVafhiugtoii and Essex Streets). 



An Old Placard. The following 
is a copy of a j«l;uard issued in Boston 
upon the :irrival of the tea, the destruc- 
tion of which led to such important re- 
sults in the history of the American 
Ilcpublic: 
FuiKNDsI Brethren! Cocntrymex! 

That worst of jilagiies, the detested 
Ti:a, shipptd for this i)ort by the East

i posterity, is now called ujton to meet at 
-'aneuil" Hall at nine oNlock Tins n.w 
(at which time the lu-lls will ring) to 
make a united and successful resistance 
to this l:ist, worst, and most destructive 
measure of administration. 
Jiuston, Xov. 2'.t, 177o. 

An Old-Time Celebration, in 

17.".li, when The news of the fall of Quebec 
wasrcccivtd in Boston, a great bonfire 
was kindled on Coitjj's Hill. Fifty or 
more barrels of tar, several <-ordsof wood 
and other combustibles were burnrd. 
Ff)rt Hill wa.s also the scene of an illumi- 
nation, the ]irovince paying for them, a.^ 
well as for thirty gallons of rum for the 
people. 

Appearance of Eocton in 

1687. A rrenchman— a n:itive of Lan- 
cuedoc— wrote of Boston in U"^7 .'us fol- 
biws: "We arriv<'d at Boston after 
having fallen in with a number of very 
l)retty Islands that lie in front of Boston, 
most of them cultivated an<l inhaiiited 
bv I'easants. which form a very fine View. 
Tlie Town is built on the Sloi)e of a little 
Hill. an<l is as large a-s L:i Kochelle. The 
T<iwn and the L.md outside are not more 
than three .Mibs in Circuit, for it is al- 
most an Isbmd ; it wouhl only be necessary 
to cut through a Width of three hundred 
I'aees, all Sand, which, in less than twice 
twentv-four Hours would make Boston 
an Isb'ind, w:ished on :dl Sides by the .Sea. 
The Town is almost wholly built of 
wf>oden Houses; but, since there have 
been some ravages by Fire, building of 
wood is no longer allowed, so th:it at this 
present writing very hantLsome Houses 
of Brick are going up." 

Art in the Olden Time. In 

1787 it was written: "Art and Sciences 
seem to have m.ide a (Jreater Progress 
here in Boston than in any other part of 
America. The Arts are undeni;ibly Much 
Forwarder in Mass.ichusetts-Bay "than in 
either rennsvlvania or New York. The 
Fublio Buildings of Boston are more 
elegant, and there is a More General Turn 



ART-BEX 



for Music, Painting and the Belles- 
littrep." What was ti'ue of Boston in 
1787 also applies to the great city of to- 
day. 

Artistic Works of 1716. in 

the Boston Keus-Lciter of Aug. 27, 171G, 
was the following advertisement: 

This is to give iiotice, that at the House 
of Mr, George Brownell, late School 
blaster, in Hanover Street, Boston, are 
all sorts of Millinary "Works done; mak- 
ing up Dresses and flowering of Muslin, 
making of furbelow'd Scarfis, and Quilt- 
ing and Cutting of Gentlewomen's Hair 
in the newest Fashion, and also young 
Gentlewomen and Children taught all 
ports of fine works, as Feather-work, 
Filigre and Painting on Glass, Embroid- 
(ring a new way, Turkey-work for Hand- 
kerchiefs, two ways, fine new-Fashion 
i-urses, flourishing and plain "Work, and 
dancing cheaper than was ever taught in 
3'oston. Brocaded work for Handker- 
chiefs and short Aprons upon Muslin; 
Artificial Flowers work'd with a needle. 

A Poem by Rev. Mather Byles in the 
Neir EiirjJand Jorirnal, published in Bos- 
ton in 1727 (Boston's fourth newspaper), 
on Governor Burnet's arrival, contained 
the following lines: 
"Welcome, Great Man, to our desiring 

eyes ! 
Thou Earth! proclaim it; and resound, ve 

Skies! 
Voice ansAvering "Voice, in joyful Concert 

meet. 
The Hills all echo, and the Rocks repeat; 
And Thou, O Boston, Mistress ol the 

Towns, 
"Whom the pleased Bay with am'rous 

arms surrounds. 
Let thy warm Transports blaze in num'- 

rous Fires, 
And beaming Glories glitter on thy 

Spires ; 
Let Rockets, streaming, up the Ether 

glare, 
And flaming Serpents hiss along the Air!" 

A Typical Boston Mansion 
of Provincial Days. Fennimore 
Cooper, the novelist, thus described the 
famous Frankland House, (m Garden 
Court Street. Bostonians held this house 
in high esteem: "The house was of 
bricks, and of an exterior altogether 
more pretending than most of those in 
the lower parts of the town. It was 
heavily ornamented in wood, according 
to the taste of a somewhat earlier day, 
and presented a front of seven windows 
in its two upper stories, those at the 
extremes being much narrower than the 
others. The lower floor had the same 
arrangement, with the exception of the 
jtrincipal door. The walls were divided 
into compartments by raised panel-work 
lieautifuliy painted with imaginary land- 
scapes and ruins. The glittering var- 



nished svirfaces of these pictures were 
burdened with armorial bearings, which 
were intended to illustrate the alliances 
of the family. Beneath the surbase were 
smaller divisions of panels, painted with 
various architectural devices; and above 
it rose, between the compartments, fluted 
liilasters of wood, with gilded capitals. 
A heavy wooden and highly ornamental 
cornice' stretched above the whole. The 
floor, which shone equally with the fur- 
niture, was tessellated with small alter- 
nate squares of red cedar and pine, and 
in the centre were the ' salient lions ' of 
Lechmere. On either side of the ponder- 
ous and labored mantel were arched 
compartments, denoting use. The sliding 
panels displayed a buftet groaning with 
massive plate." Cooper's description of 
the house is historically accurate. 

Banishment of Roger Wil- 
liams. On Oct. 13, 1C35, Roger Williams, 
for " heresy," was banished. 

Bargains in Real Estate, in 

the year 1830, Lucius M. Sargent bought 
at public auction three acres, three quar- 
ters and eight rods (105,526 feet) lying 
between Tremont Street and Shawraut 
Avenue, for two hundred and sixty-nine 
dollars and eighty cents. The same prop- 
erty would uow sell for at least one mil- 
lion dollars. 

Beacon on Gentry Hill. The 

law for the placing of the beacon which 
gave the Hill its name is to be foiind in 
the following resolution of the Court of 
Assistants, March 4, 1634: "It is ordered 
that there shall be forthwith a Beacon 
sett on the Gentry (Sentry) Hill, at Boston, 
to give notice to the Country of any 
Danger, and that there shall be a Ward 
of one person kept there from the first 
of April to the last of September; and 
that upon the Discovery of any Danger 
the Beacon shall be fiVed, an allarum 
given, as also Messengers presently sent 
by that Towne where the Danger is dis- 
covered to all other Townes within thi.? 
jurisdiccon." The beacon consisted of a 
tall pole, with an iron pot filled with tar 
at its top. The shaft was about sixty feet 
high, and at its top about two hundred 
feet above high tide of the sea. On the 
sides of the pole were placed treenails, 
upon which one could climb to light the 
fire in the kettle of tar at its top as a 
signal of danger. (A good illustration of 
this beacon may be seen on the cover of 
the paper edition of this book). The 
beacon was blown down, November, 1789, 
and was replaced by a monument, the 
panels of which are still to be seen on 
the walls of Doric Hall, State House, 
Beacon Street, (head of Park Street, near 
the Common.) (See Historical Tablets). 

^enjamin Franklin's Birth- 
place, on Milk Street, is thus described: 
" Its front upon the street was rudely 



BEX-BOS

clapboarded, and the sides, and rear were 
ir>tt'C't«Ml from the incleuieiu-ies of a 
T\ow Ku^\ai\(1 climate by lar^re, mujrh 
thinplos. In lu'ight the hous«' was about 
three stories; in front, the second story 
jind rttif projected somewhat into the 
Btreet. over the priiuipal story on tiie 
ground floor. On the lower tloor of the 
main house there was one room only. 
This, whieh itrobably served the Frank- 
lins as a parlor and sittin}r-room, and, 
nlso, for the f.imily eatinj^-room, was 
about twenty fi et slpiare, and ha«l twi» 
windows on "the street; ami it had also 
one on the passap;e wr.y, so as to j:ive the 
inmates a frood vit w <if Washinjrton 
Street. In the centre of the soutlierly 
side of the room was one of those noted 
larpe fire-i>laces, situateil in a most capa- 
cious chimney; on the left of this was a 
spacious closet. On the {rround floor, 
connected with the sittin;;-room throu;;h 
the entry, w;i8 the kitchen. Tlu* second 
story orij^inally contained but one 
chamber, and iii this the windows, door, 
fire-place, and closet were similar in 
numlier and jiosition to those in the 
parlor beneath it. The attic was also, 
oritrinally, one unplastere<l room, an<l 
had a window in front, on the street, antl 
two common attic win<lows, one on caeh 
side of the roof, near the l>ack j>art of 
it." .losiah Franklin, lienjamin's father, 
•was a silk dyer. He came to IJoston from 
lianbury, En;;'and, in IC^l. Henj.imin 
was buried in I'hiladelphia, why it «loes 
not appear, as he wrote from France, in 
1784, "1 lonjr much to secaf^ain my native 
nlace, and to Imj inij /nuns t/ifre." In 
nis will he wrot«': " I was l)orn in Hoston 
and owe my first instnictions in litera- 
ture to the free grammar schools estal>- 
lished there. I have therefore considered 
these schools In my will." 

Benjamin Waterhouse, who 

intrnilu.'.d v.i«< iiuition into .\merica, 
in l.H<Nt, is thus (les( ribed by Olivir 
Wendell Holmes: " .\ brisk, dapper old 
centlemen, with hair tifd in a ribbon 
nehind. and, I think, powdered, mareh- 
inp: smartly about with his jrold-headed 
cane, with a look of questioninc sapaeity, 
and an <itteranc«' of oracular pravity. 
The pood people of Tambridtre listened 
to his learne<l talk when they were well, 
and .sent for one of the other "two doctors 
when they were sick." 

Boston Common w.x<« not a prift 
from anv one. It wis jmrehased ont- 
richt. ^ivs F.dwin I.. lUnner. in the 
Memorial history of Hostcin: "Our title 
to the Common is easily traced; itoripin- 
allv formed part of the possessions of 
■NVjiliam Hlackstone (Hlaxtoni, the first 
white settler, whose ownership was ac- 
kuowledijed and confirmed by an entry 
in the Town Recortls as early.as P^T!, b"y 
which it was atrreed that William Hlack- 
Btone shall have fifty acres set out for 



him, near his house in Boston, to enjoy 
forever. The next year, u;84, l{lackston"e 
Sold the whole parcel of land to the town, 
c.vcept only six acres immediately join- 
ing hi.s house. The land thus cuming 
into the posse.«>Sion of the town as public 
I'roprrty was dire«-tlv committed (IH'C. IS, 
Ps)4i, to" the care (»f \Vinthrop an<i others 
to divith', anti to leave 'such ])ortions in 
connnon for ye use of ne«e comers, and 
ve further benefit of ye towne, as in theire 
liest discretions theyshall think fitt;' and 
six years later we "fin<l its alienation <>r 
appropriation to other jturpost's puanled 
a^rainst bv an order i)assed March, li;40, 
tit th<' following efieit: 'Also a);reed 
nj'on that henceforth there shall be no 
land pranted eyther for houseplott or

bet weene ye (entry Hill and .Mr. C'olbron's 
end; exiejit 3 or '4 Lotts to make up ye 
street from bro. Kobt. Walker's to ye 
Round .Marsh.' " 

Bostonians in 1788. Bri.ssot de 
Warville wrote in that year: "They 
(the Hostoni;ins) unite s"implicity o"f 
morals with that French politeness" and 
delicacy of nianners which render virtue 
more aniiable. The younp women here 
enjoy the liberty they" do in Knpland,— 
that they did in (ieneva when morals 
were there, and the Republic existed; 
and they do not abuse it. 

BostoninaSadPlig'ht. Thomas 

I)Millry, I)cput> (;Mvrni<ir to Winthrop, 
wrote"to the " (■ounte>-. of I.in<-oin.— 
mother of La<lv Arabella .lohn.-on,— 
un<ler date of Mrtnh 'Js, icai, as follows: 
"We found the Colony in a sad and un- 
exj.ecte«l condition, ab.ove eighty of them 
being dead the winter before, a"nd many 
of tho^e alive weak and sick; all the corn 
and breatl ainfuigst them all hardly suill- 
cicnt to feed them a fortnight." 

Poston in 1699. Edward Ward, 
of Fonilon. vi>ite(l 15o<.ton in that year, 
and this is the ]ii( ture he drew (-f the old 
town and its people: " I'.o.ston, whose 
name is taken from a town in Lincoln- 
shire, Englanrl, is the metropolis of all 
New Englanil. The houses in sf)me parts 
join as in Lftndon. The buiblings, like 
their women, being neat and handsome; 
and their streets, like the hearts of the 
male inhabitants, are paved with pebble. 
In the chief or high street there are 
stately edifices, some of which h:ive cost 
the owners two or three thousand jxtunds 
the raising; whieh, I think, plainly 
proves two old adages true, viz: That 
•a fool and his money are soon p:irted,' 
and '.Set a beggar on horseback and 
lie Ml ride to the devil,' ft)r the fathers 
of these men were tinkers and peddlers," 

Boston in 1719. According to 
Daniel Neale. who described Hoston in 
IIVJ: "lii'; Bay of Boston is spacious 



10

enough to contain in a manner the Na\'y 
of England. The masts of ships here, 
and at proper seasons of the year make a 
kind of Forest of Trees. At 'the bottom 
of tlie Bay is a noble pier, 2000 feet long, 
■\vith a row of Warehouses on the North 
side, for the use of Merchants. Ships of 
the greatest burthen may unlade Avithout 
the help of boats or lighters. From the 
head of the pier you go up the chief street 
of the Towne, at the upper end of which 
is the Towne House or Exchange, a tine 
piece of building, containing, besides the 
walk for the Merchants, the Council 
Chamber, the House of Commons, and 
another spacious room for the sessions of 
the Courts of Justice." 

Boston Massacre. The first 
actual conflict between the residents of 
Boston and the British troops occurred 
in King (State) Street, March 5, 1770. The 
troops were called "lobsters," in derision 
by street-urchins, on account of their 
scarlet coats. " He's the soldier who 
knocked me down!" shouted a boy, 
pointing to a sentinel who had just before 
hit the lad with the butt-end of his mus- 
ket. This was at the corner of Exchange 
Lane and King Street. Some one in the 
crowd cried—" Knock the lobster down! " 
Others shouted— " Kill him!" The sen- 
tinel quickly loaded his gun, and re- 
treated up the steps of the Custom House, 
which then stood on that corner, " He's 
going to fire!" exclaimed a voice. Henry 
Knox, who was passing, said to the 
soldier— "If you dare to fire you shall 
die for it! " " Well," replied the sentinel, 
" if they touch me, I'll shoot them ! " The 
crowd began to throw snowballs and 
other things at him, when he levelled his 
musket at them and shouted for assist- 
ance. A sergeant, with seven men, came 
to his relief. Capt, Thomas Preston, of 
the Twenty-Ninth, joined his men, mak- 
ing ten. There w-ere about sixty peoi)le 
in the front of the Custom House. "You 
cowardly scoundrels," shouted some one, 
" put down your guns and we're ready 
for you!" Clubs were soon brought to 
bear against the soldiers, who had pro- 
voked the mob by pressing them back 
■with their bayonets. Seven of the sol- 
diers fired, killing Crispus Attucks, 
Samuel Gray and James Caldwell, and 
fatally wounding Samuel Maverick and 
Patrick Carr. Six others were wounded 
seriously, 

Boston's Early English Pro- 
clivities. It is not to be wondered at 
that Londoners have ever felt very much 
at home in Boston. The architecture of 
London was almost perfectly reproduced 
in Boston. The fashions of the clothes 
worn by ladies and gentlemen in Boston, 
were copied from the London mode. 
Even in the speech of the people the 
similarity obtained among the descend- 
ants of the early settlers. Benjamin 



Franklin remarked this feature of the 
Bostonians particularly, after residing in 
Philadelphia. Alluding to the English 
tone of his Boston visitors, he said: "I 
enjoy the company and conversation of 
its (Boston's) inhabitants, when any of 
them are so good as to visit me; for, be- 
sides their general good sense, which I 
value, the Boston manner, turn of jihrase, 
and even tone of voice and accent in 
pronunciation, all please and seem to 
refresh and tevive me." It is superfluous 
to add that the Boston of to-day sustains 
all of its former English tone, the city 
taking its fashions in social customs, 
dress, etc., from London, 

Boston's Early Names. 

Boston's Indian name was Shawmutt, 
signifying "living fountains" in their 
dialect. It was afterwards called Tri- 
mountaine, owing to the fact that its 
principal hili had three distinct peaks. 
(This hill was once called Centry (Sentry) 
Hill, afterwards Beacon Hill.) Boston 
received its present name, Sept. 7, 1C30, 
being called after Boston, England. 

Boston's Elegance in 1766. 

John Adams' Diary contains the fol'.ow- 
ing: "Dined at Mr. Nick Boylston's— an 
elegant dinner indeed. Went over the 
house to view the furniture, which alone 
cost a thousand pounds sterling. A seat 
it is for a nobleman, a prince. The Tur- 
key carpets, the painted hangings, the 
marble tables, the rich beds with crim- 
son damask curtains and counterpanes, 
the beautiful chimney clock, the spacious 
garden, are the most magnificent of any- 
thing I have ever seen." 

Boston Harbor Blockaded. 

On May 10, 1774, British Men-of-War ef- 
fectually blockaded Boston Harbor. 

Boston in 1687. A writer inthat 
year said: " As for wild beasts in Boston, 
"we have here plenty of bears, wolves in 
great number, and plenty of rattle- 
snakes." 

Boston's First Performance 

of Shakespeare's "Macbeth" was an- 
nounced as " A Dialogue on the Horrid 
Crime of Murder." 

Boston's Famous Teapot. 

Oliver Wendell Holmes has written: 

"Fast spread the tempest's darkening 
pall; 

The mighty realms were troubled; 
The storm broke loose, but first'of all 

The Boston teapot bubbled. 

The lurid morning shall reveal 

A fire no king can smother. 
When British iiint and Boston steel ^ 

Have clashed against each other 1'*

Boston's First Dancing 

School was opened in 17:'^". and nnder 
coTcr. It was announced a.s u •• Sibo<»l 
for readinp, writing, cyr.hcrinp. dancing, 
and tliou.-o of tlu' needle." Atout this 
time an appMeation for an exhil ition «if 
tipht-rope daneinp was n fused, as it 
mijrht " tend to promote idleuet^s in Ibo 
Town." 

Boston Stone. In the oar'y days 
of the Town tlie houses, inns and shojs 
•were not numbered, but at eertain points 
■were plaeed eurious enddematie stones, 
sipns, ete., to jioint the way. or to mark 
tiie position of various buildings. Thus, 
•what is 8o wid»'ly knttwn as the llostou 
Stone, whieh ma'y to-day be se»'n im- 
bedded in the outer wail of a buildinp: 
on Marshall st., (reek s<|., near Hanover 
Bt., was used as a symtiol by a painter, 
who, in 1701, opened' a little shoj) on this 
gi)ot, having removed here fn)m London. 
The Stone— or Stoius, for there are two, 
the lower one having been used as a 
paint-mill, and the uppi r sph« rieal one 
as a prindcr — was broupht here from 
Enpland. The Stone is jdactd in the 
wafi quite near the prf)und. Ijion it is 
the inseription: ' Uoston Stone, 17;>7." 
The liistorii" old landmark is eorsid* red 
to be of the greatest interest by anti- 
quarians and other sipht-seers, home «>f 
whom are almost constantly to be found 
in the vicinity. (Near the Ho.ston Stone 
is the Painter's Amis, a d«'scrij)tion of 
which is piven as indicated iu the Index 
of this work.) 

Eoston*s Three-Peaked Eca- 
con Ccntry ■ Hill. Wood, th.- voy.i- 
grr, in IO-hI, spoke of "three little hills on 
top of a hiph mountain." This descrit - 
tion referred to (entry or Sentry Hill, 
now known as lleacon Hill; the other hills 
vrcro afterwards knowu as Copp's aud 
Fort Hills. 

Boston Tea-party. Tlie story of 
the f.unous I'.oston Tt a-I'arty is thus 
praphicallv told 1 y liev. Edward (.. 
Fortcr: '-In thesumnur of 1773 the news 
of the tea t.ax aroused a universal spirit 
of resistance. It was known to be .-.n 
insidious n>e.isure, skilfully contrived to 
collect a duty without ai)parent cost to 
the nurchasci , the tribute beinp nominally 

Said by the Kast India ('oni]>any in Lon- 
on. But it was only another test case, 
involvinp a recopnition t)f the sunremacy 
of Parliament, and every one understood 
it. Samuel Adams was busy with his 
fellow-patriots makinp arranpements for 
the proper recejitionof the 'detested tea.' 
The consipnees were cautioned in ad- 
vance by the ' Liberty Tree ' committee. 
The clubs and newsjlapers were of one 
mind on the subject. Numerous town 
meetinps were held, first in Taneuil Hall 
and tli'cu ia the Old .South, at wliich it 



was unanimously determined, upon 
Ailams's motion, that the tea should l»e 
sent back and that no duty should be 
paid upon it. It was a diJiicult matter to 
c<)nvin^e the authorities that this vote of 
the town was imperative. Everythinp 
w.is done by the leaders in the way of 
•warninp, personal visitation and reasona- 
ble delays, to facilitate the execution of 
the people's onU'r, but ollicial ob>truc- 
tions prevented up to the very last d.iy 
Jiefore the ships would be subject to con- 
fiscation. That was the memorable 
Thurs<lay, the sixteenth of DecemlM r, 
\~-l\—tlintdiiijof tlaijA in liostmi historij-- 
when the larpest town meetinp that w.is 
ever held, numherinp, it is said, seven 
thousand men, tilled the Old South and 
all its approaches. The deliberations of 
the morninp wcrc> atljourned to three 
o'clock to allow timf for Kot«'h, tha 
owner of the ' D.irtmouth,' who had been 
refused a clearance at the Custom Hous% 
to obtain the necessary sailinp-permit 
of the (Jovernor, th"n at" his eountiy-seat 
in .Milton. Tlie afternoon session was 
prolonped for hours waitinp for the mcr- 
ch.mt's return. Addresses were mada 
by Adams, Vounp, Quiney and others, 
and the vote wa.s taken apain, and with- 
out a «lissentinp voice, that the tea should 
in no ca.se be landed. ' Who knows,' said 
Uowe, ' how tea will niinple with salt 
water." a remark which elicited loud 
applause. We cannot but respect tho 
l)atienee of such a patherinp, and tho 
restraininp intluence exercised by tho 
leaders at this critical juncture. Nipht 
is drawinp on. The speeches have all 
been made, ami now there are lonp inU'r- 
vals of silence. Only a few faces can be 
di^tinpuished in tlie ilim eandle-'.ipht. 
In the pulpit sit-S Sanuiel Atlanis, tho 
moder.itor, whose |)ri-sence tlvre is 
enouirh to c(uitrol any assenddy on any 
occision. Some in that company — jier- 
hajis not many — are in the well-kejit 
S'MTct which is likely soon to astonish the 
town. Others not far away— a dauntless 
band— are htddin-; theu»se"lves in readi- 
ness for the sipnal. And yet all is quiet, 
jirofouiullv quiet. At last, abr)ut six 
o'<loek, liotih apj)eared and reported 
tliat the (iovernor liad refused the jliss. 
Then the moderator rose and said, 'This 
meetinp can do nr.thinp more to save tho 
country.' Scarcely had the words fallen 
from his lips, when a war-whoop was 
heard at the door, and a band of men, 
dispuiscd as Indians, swt-pt by on their 
wav to Oritlin's wharf (now Livt'rpool 
wharf 1, followed by the crowd. The tea- 
ships were boarded and plaeed under 
puard, while the 'braves' in the lipht of 
the moon removed the hatches, hoisted 
the chests upon deck, and emjitied all 
their contents into the sea. There was 
ni resistance, no noise, no exultation. 
When the work was done, they all retired 
quietly to their homes, and bv ten o'clock 
that liipht a Sabbath btilluess prevailed 
tUrougliout tli2 town."

Boston Witchcraft. In 1C48, 
June 13, Margaret Jones was tried, con- 
victed and hanged (from a branch of the 
(ireat Elm on Boston Common) for witch- 
craft. In 1656, Ann Hibbins met a sim- 
i ar fate. Other victims were executed 
for the same " crime " in Boston, (neary 
fifty vears before the outi-.reak of the 
witchcraft delusion in Danvers, then 
known as Salem Village, in 1692). Gov- 
ernor Endicott pronounced the sentence 
of death on Dame Hibbins, who was 
denied even Christian burial. 

Boston Women in 1781. The 

celebrated Abbe Robin — who accom- 
panied Count de Rochambeau and his 
six thousand French troops who came 
to assist in tlie War for American Inde- 

f)endence, as chaplain wrote as fol- 
ows from Boston in June, 1781: " Fiety 
is not the only motive that brings the 
American ladies in crowds to the various 
places of worship. The church is the 
grand theatre where they attend to dis- 
play their extravagance and finery. There 
they come, dressed off in the finest silks, 
?.nd overshadowed with a profusion of 
the most superb phimes. The hair of 
the head is raised and supported upon 
cushions to an extravagant height. The 
ladies are large, well jiroportioned; their 
features generally regular, and their com- 
plexions fair without ruddiness. They 
have less cheerfulness and ease of be- 
haviour than the ladies of France, but 
more of greatness and dignity. I have 
even imagined that I have seen some- 
thing in them that answers to the ideas 
of beauty we gain from those master- 
pieces of the artists of antiquity, which 
are yet extant in our days. The stature 
of the men is tall, and their carriage 
erect, but their make is rather slim, and 
their colour inclining to pale. They are 
not so curious in their dress as the 
women, but everything upon them is 
neat and proper." (Boston then con- 
tained about 30,000 inhabitants). 

Branding. On September 14, 1784, 
Thomas Joyce was branded with the 
letter B for burglary. 

Brighton was originally called 

*' Little Cambridge." 

British Troops in Boston. 

There were 13,800 British soldiers in 
Boston, March 17, 1775. 

Bunker Hill, Charlsstown 
District, Oliver Wende'l Holmes, in 
" Grandmother's Story " writes thus: 

" I had heard the musket's rattle of the 

April running battle; 
Lord Percy's hunted soldiers, I can see 

their red coats still; 
But a deadly chill comes o'er me as the 

day looms up before me, 
.When 'a thousand men lay bleeding on 

the slopes of Bunker's liill." 



Bunker Hill Monument Tvas 

completed June 17, 1843. 

Bur^oyne, when informed that 
Boston was surrounded Ly provincials, 
(June, 1775,) ejaculated, " What ? Ten 
thousand peasants keep five thousand 
King's troops shut np! Let us get in, 
and' we'll soon find elbow-room!" The 
Creneral was nick-named " Elbow-room 
Burgoyne " after that. 

Cambridge was originally called 
" Newe-towne." 

Boston became a city May 1, 1822. 

Carlyle, with historical inaccuracy, 
wrote as follows: " Rev. John Cotton is a 
man still held in some remembrance 
among our New England friends. He 
had been minister of Boston in Lincoln- 
shire; carried the name across the ocean 
with him; fixed it upon a new small 
home he had found there, which has be- 
come a large one since,— the big busy 
capital of Massachusetts, — Boston, so 
called. John Cotton, his mark, very 
curiouslj' stamped on the face of this 
planet; likely to continue for sometime." 
The fact is that Boston was named three 
years before the arrival of Rev. John 
Cotton. 

Caucus. The term Caucus was first 
used about 1724, in connection with po- 
litical meetings. They were originally 
called " Calkers' meetings," being prin- 
cipally organized by calkers or ship- 
building meclianics. 

Charlssto-wn's Famous En- 
gine. The Massachusetts Spy, of April 
8, 1773, in alluding to a fire "in Boston 
speaks of the aidrendered by " tllo en- 
gine from Charlestown, esteemed the best 
in America." 

Charter. On March 4, 1628 (9, O. S.), 
Charles I., of England, granted Letters- 
Patent to Sir Henry Rosewell and others 
as a body corporate " by the name of the 
Governor and Company of the Massa- 
chusetts Bay in New England." In the 
State Archives, in Boston, is preserved 
the original document, upon which is tlie 
following indorsement: "A perpetuity 
granted to Sir Henry Rosewell and others 
of parts of Newe England in America. 
(Signed) Wolseley." The paper bears 
the autograph signature of Wolseley. 

Christ Church, Salem st. From 
the belfrey of this church, built in 1723, 
lanterns were hung out on the night 
before the Concord and Lexington bat- 
tles. (See HlstoHcal Tablets.) A poem 
by Edwin B. Russell commomorates this 
event;

Earl^ History of Roman Ca- 
tholicism in Boston. Writes The 
^ ( TV Ktvereiid ^\ illiani Byrne — tVicar- 
(;«-n"<ral of the Dioceso in The Memorial 
Histor\- of Bost.*>n: " One hundred yeai.s 
ago ciliout 1780) there were about one 
hundred ("atludics in Boston. These were 
for the most part either French. Irish tr 
Si)anish. . . . They had then no church 
org;inization, no chunli. no regular plaeo 
of worship, ;ind only the occasional min- 
i-tr;itions of transient jiriests. . . . 
These missionaries wire succeeded ly 
the Rev. .lolin Thaver. a native of Boston, 
a convert to the Catholic faith, who ha«l 
been a Conirreg:itional minister. During 
this gentleman's travels in Eurone iu 
1781-83. he learned and accepted the 
doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church.

. . . After heing ordainecl priest he 
returned to America, and visited Dr. 
Carroll, of Baltimore, the Superior of 
the missions in the United States. Dr. 
Carroll assigned him to the Boston mis- 
sion. On his arrival in Boston, Jan. 4, 
1790, he found the Catholics using as a 
place of religious assembly and worship, 
a small chapel on School Street. This 
chapel had been previously occupied by a 
small Huguenot congregation, but was 
the property of Mr. Perkins, from whom 
Father Thaver obtained, in 1790, a lease 
tor a tew ve'ars. This may be said to be 
the first regularly organized church so- 
ciety of lloman Catholics in Boston." 

Early Literature. Boston 
achieved its literary pre-eminence— 
which it still holds— ea'rly in the history 
of the country. In 1719, Daniel Neal, the 
well-known writer, in describing Boston, 
wrnte: "The Exchange is surrounded 
with Booksellers' Shops, which have a 
good trade. There are five printing- 
presses in Boston, which are generally 
full of work, by which it appears that 
humanity and the knowledge of letters 
flourish more here than in all the other 
Eng'ish plantations put together, for in 
the city of New York there is but one 
Bookseller's Shop, and in Virginia, Mary- 
land and Carolina none at all." ' 

Early Settlers. In July, 1C30, a 
fleet of ten ships (including the " Arbel- 
la") from Yarmouth, England, arrived 
in Boston Harbor, bearing a band of men, 
self-reliant, resolute and determined, 
who were to establish a home for the op- 
pressed of alJ the nations of the earth. 
This company included John "VVinthrop, 
JohnWilson, Isaac Johnson,Thomas Dud- 
ley, and other equally heroic, sturdy men. 

Eavecdropping in 1699. Salu- 
tary lessons were often taught eavesdrop- 
pers and busybodies in early days. Ed- 
ward AVard wrote home to Eng'land, as 
follows: " A good cudgel, applied in the 
dark, is an excellent medicine for a 
malignant spirit. I knew it experienced 
at Boston, Avith a very good success upon 
an old rigged precisian, one of their 
select, who used to be more than ordi- 
narily vigilant in discovering even little 
irregularities in the neighborhood. I 
hniipened, one night, to be pretty merry 
with a friend, opposite the zealot's dwell- 
ing:, who got ovit of his bed in his waist- 
coat and drawers, to listen at our win- 
dow. My friend, having oft been served 
so, had left unbolted his cellar trap-door, 
as a pitfall for Mister Busir-Body, who, 
ste]iping upon it, sunk down with an 
outcry like that of a distressed mariner 
in a sinking pinnace. My friend, having 
planted a ciulgel ready, ran down stairs, 
crying, 'Thieves!' and belabored old 
troublesome very severely before he 
would know him. ' He crying out, ' I am 



your neighbor! ' — 'Y^'ou lie, yoti rogue!* 
says my friend, ' my neighbors are honest 
men. You are some thief, come to rob 
my house ! ' By this time I went down 
w^ith a candle, my friend seemingly won- 
derfully surprised to see 'twas his neigh- 
bor, ami one of the select, too, put on a 
counterfeit countenance, and heartily 
l)egged his pardon. Away trooped the 
old fox, grumbling and shrugging his 
shoulders, and he afterwards became the 
most moderate man in authority in the 
whole Towne of Boston." 

Education in Colonial Days. 

A law passed Nov. 11, 1647, read as fol- 
lows: "To the end that Learning may 
not be buried in the graves of our Fore- 
fathers, it is ordered in all the Puritan 
Colonies that every Township, after the 
Lord hath increased them to the number 
of fifty households, shall appoint one to 
teach all children to write and read; and 
when any Town shall increase to the 
number of one hundred families, they 
shall set up a Grammar School, the mas- 
ter thereof to be able to instruct youth so 
far as they may be fitted for theL^niver- 
sity; provided that if any Town neglect 
the performance hereof, above one year, 
that every such Town shall pay five 
pounds to"^the next School, till they shall 
perform the order." 

Effects cf Early Rising. Fresi- 
drnt Cnincy of Harvard College, and 
John Quiney Adams, who were "addicted 
to the vice of intemperate early rising," 
one day comi)limented Judge Joseph 
Story liy attending one of his lectures 
at Harvard University Law School, and 
had hardly become seated before they 
both fell asleep. Judge Story, pointing 
to them, said to the "amused students: 
"Gentlemen, you see before you a melan- 
choly example of the evil efl;ects of early 
rising-" Shouts of laughter awoke the

Captain Roger Clap— one of a company 
coming from Flyaiouth, England— arriv- 
ing at Hull, Boston Harbor, (after a ten- 
weeks' tempestuoits voyage), May 30, 1630, 
and who settled in Dorchester, wrote: 
"When we came to Nantasket, Captain 
Bqueb, who was Captain of that great 
Ship of Four Hundred Tons, would not 
bring us into Charles River, as he was 
bound to do; bitt put us ashore, and our 
goods, on Nantasket Point, and left us to 
shift for ourselves in a forlorn Place in 
this Wilderness. But, as it pleased God, 
we got a Boat of some old Planters, and 
laded her with Goods; and some able 
men, well armed, went in her unto 
Charlestown: where we found some Wig- 
wams and one House, and in the House 
there was a man which had a boiled Bass, 
but no Bread that we see: but we did eat 
of his Bass, and then went up Charles

GEX-HEA 



Gencrtl Gage and Ike Foe- 
ton Boys. Tiu re have bet n poems 
■written, stoiies told, nnd pictures painted 
of ?,n event said to have had its occur- 
rence in the early days of the Revolution, 
when the Boston l!oys complained to 
General Gage that their coasting-place on 
Boston Common had been bioktn up ly 
the British soldiers. We find the follow- 
ing account of the incident in Higgin- 
son's Young Folks' History: " In Boston 
the troops mads themselves stiil more 
unpoi>ular. There was soon a quarrel be- 
tween them and the boys, for the soldiers 
used to beat down the snowhills that the 
boys had heaped up on the Common. 
After appealing in vain to the captain, 
the boys finally went to Governor Gage 
and complained. ' What! ' he said, ' have 
your fathers been teaching you rebellion, 
and sent you here to exhil it it?'— 'No- 
body sent us, sir,' said one of the boys. 
' We have never injured nor insulted your 
troops ; but they have trodden down our 
snowhillSj and broken the ice on our 
skating-ground. We complained, and 
they called us young rebels, and told us 
to help ourselves if we could. We told 
the captains of this, and they laughed at 
us. Yesterday our works were destroyed 
for the third time, and we will bear it no 
longer.' The Governor, with surprise, 
said to one of his officers, ' The vei y 
children here draw in a love of Liberty 
with the air they breathe. You may go, 
my I rave boys, and be assured, if my 
troops trouble you again they shall be 
punished.' " 

Gentlemen's Dress in 1795. 

A New York merchant visiting Boston 
in 1795 wrote home that " the broad aisle 
of Brattle Street Church was lined by 
gentlemen in wigs, with cocked hatP, 
and scarlet coats." Ruffles of lace, silk 
stockings, and polished shoes, with 
buckles, were also portions of the cos- 
tume. 

Goin^ from Eocton to Rox- 
bury was a perilous journey in 1713. 
In January of that year, " one'Bacon, of 
Roxbury, going home ni his slade (sled 
or sleigh) with three horses, was bewil- 
derkl in the dark, himself found dead 
with the cold, next morning, one of the 
horses droAvned in the Marsh, the other 
two not yet heard of." 

Griffin's Wharf. Xear the foot 
of Pearl Street. Now known as Liver- 
pool AVharf. This was the scene of the 
famous " Boston Tea-Party." (See Bns- 
ton Tea-Party^. In the spring of 1773 
the East India Company obtained an Act 
of Parliament authorizing the Company 
to export Teas to America without pav- 
ing the ordinary duty in England. Ships 
were dispatched to America with the 
Tea, on every pound of which a tax of 
threepence had been imposed. The fol- 



lowing graphic account of the result is 
condensed from an article in the Memo- 
rial History of Boston : " When this news 
became known all America was in a 
flame. The people had taken their stand 
upon a principle, and not until that was 
recognized would they withdraw their 
opposition." 

Hair-Srescin^j in 1800. Mon- 
sieur Alexandre Lnvigne, from Paris, 
established a hair-dressing shop in 
Boston, and announced that he would 
arrange ladies' hair " in the Greek, Flora 
or Virginia fashions," Avhile the hair of 
the gentlemen would be cut " a la 
Brutus," or " a la Titus," as desired. 

Harvard Theatra. A theatre 
was opened in Cambridge, called the 
Harvard Theatre, April 28, 1830. (See 
Eieni/ul PiayhlUs). 

Harvard University in 1781. 

The distinguished Abbe Robin, of France, 
wrote fnnn Boston as follows, in 1781: 
"The Europeans have long been con- 
vinced of the natural and moral dangers 
to be apprehended in acquiring education 
in large towns. The Bostonians have 
advanced farther; they have prevented 
these dangers. ' Their' University is at 
Cambridge, seven miles from Boston on 
the banks of Charles River, in a beautiful 
and healthy situation. There are four Col- 
leges, all of brick, and of a regular form. 
The English troops made use of them as 
barracks in 1775, and forced the professors 
and students to turn out. " The Library 
contains more than 5,000 volumes; anil 
they have an excellent printing-house, 
well furnished, that was originally in- 
tended for a College for the native 
Indians. To give you an idea of the 
merit of the jirofessors, it will be suffi- 
cient to say that they correspond with 
the literati of Europe, and that Mr. 
Sewall in particular. Professor of the 
Oriental languages, is one of those to 
whom the Author of genius and ability 
has been lavish of those gifts; their 
pujnls often act tragedies, the subject of 
which is generally taken from their na- 
tional events, siudi as the Battle of Bun- 
ker's Hill, the Burning of Charlestown, 
and the Fall of British Tyranny." (The 
statement made by this Aviiter that Cam- 
bridge is seven miles from Bost<m arose 
from the fact that in those days commu- 
nicatirm between the two places was by 
way of Boston Neck. The distance by 
present methods is about three miles).

in the American ApoUo, of July 26, 1793, 
he was "established in Leverett's Lane, 
opposite the Quaker's IMecting-House, 
where any person can call for as much 
or as little refreshment as he pleases, and 
pay for no more than he consumes. Ex- 
cellent wines and cordials, good soups 
and broths, pastry in all its delicious 
variety, a Ja mode beef, bacon, poultry, 
and generally all other refreshing viands 
will be kept in due preparation." This 
was probably the first eating-house to be 
established on the a la carte plan in this 
city or country. 

King's Chapel. Tremont st., cor. 
of School St. The old King's Chapel — 
on the site of the present one— was built 
in 1()88, and was a small, unpretentious 
building, of wood. Its steejjle was sur- 
mounted by a large rooster, under which 
was a conspicuous crown. The steeple 
was a very high one. The church had no 
pcAvs for several years; but, in 1693, some 
English naval officers belonging to Sir 
Francis Wheeler's fleet, then in the har- 
bor, contributed £56, and the pews Avere 
built. The expensive communion service 
was given by King James II. (for whom 
the chapel was named) and Queen Mary 
of England. The carpet, cushions, 
Bible, prayer-book, surplices, etc., were 
gifts from Queen Mary (of Modena). 
The Chapel was rebuilt to more than 
double its original size, in 1710. The first 
organ ever used in America stood in the 
western gallery. The walls were hung 
with the escutcheons of the King and of 
the Vice-Regal Governors. "It Avas a 
strange sight among the bare churches 
of New England." The present stone 
Chapel was erected in 1749. On the 
evacuation of Boston by the British, 
March 17, 1776, Dr. Cauer,'the rector, fled 
with them, taking the plate, records, etc., 
a portion of which were afterwards recov- 
ered from his heirs George Washington 
attended an oratorio given here, Oct. 27, 
1789. The old Latin schoolhouse having 
been demolished to make room for the 
extension of the stone Chapel, Joseph 
Green, a noted writer of that period (who 
lived on School Street, near the Crom- 
well's Head Inn), wrote, in 1748, as fol- 
lows: 
" A fig for your learning! I tell you the 

Town 
To make the Church larger must pull the 

School down ! 
'Unhappily spoken!' exclaims Master 

Birch, 
♦Then Learning, it seems, stops the 

growth of the Church! ' " 

Kissing in Boston in Provin- 
cial Times. According to Edward 
"Ward, who came from London to Boston 
in 1699, " If you Kiss a woman in public, 
though offered as a courteous salutation, 
if any information is given to the Select 
members, both shall be whipped or fined. 



But the good-humored lasses, to make 
you amends, will Kiss the Kinder in a 
corner! A captain of a ship, who had 
been on a long voyage, happened to meet 
his wife and Kissed her in the street, for 
which he was fined ten shillings, and 
forced to pay the money. Another in- 
habitant of the town was fined ten shil- 
lings for Kissing his own wife in his 
garden, and, obstinately refusing to pay 
the money, endured twenty lashes. And 
at this rate one of the delightfulest cus- 
toms in the world will in time be quite 
thrown out of fashion, to the old-folk 
satisfaction, but to the young one's lam- 
entation, who love it as well in Kew 
England as we do in the Old." 

Lafayette's Headquarters. 

The celebrated old Ticknor House, on the 
corner of Beacon and Bark Streets, — 
built in 1804, by Thomas Amory— was 
occupied by Lafayette during his sojourn 
in Boston "in 1824. (George Ticknor, the 
famous historian of Spanish literature, 
lived and died in this renoAvned building, 
Avhich is still standing in an excellent 
state of preservation). It is recorded 
that Avhen on Harvard University Com- 
mencement Day, Mayor Quincy called for 
Lafayette at this hou?e, a large crowd 
gathercel about the cariiage. "Have you 
ever been in Europe, Mr. (quincy? " asked 
Lafayette. "No," replied the Mayor. 
" Thin," rejoined Lafayette, " you can 
have no idea of the character of a croAvel 
in Europe. I declare, in comparison, the 
people of Boston seem to me like a popu- 
lation selected from the whole human 
race." Charles Sprague, the eminent 
poet, wrote the folloAving inscription for 
an arch placeel on Washington Street, 
]ust aboA'C Dover Street, under which 
Lafayette passed when received by the 
city: 

"The fathers in glorv shall sleep 

That gathered Avith thee to the fight; 
But the sons will eternally keep 
The tablet of gratitude bright : 
We boAV not the neck; we bend not the 

knee ; 
But our hearts, Lafayette, we surrender 
to thee!" 



Law Against Wearing Lace. 

In 1636, the General Court, sitting in Bos- 
ton, issued the following order: "The 
Court, taking into consideration the 
great, superfluous, and unnecessary ex- 
penses occasioneel by reason of some 
new and immoelest fashions, as al.-o the 
ordinary wearing of silver, gold and silk 
laces, girdles, hat-bands, &c., hath there- 
fore ordered that no person, either man 
or women, shall hereafter make or buy 
anv apparel, either woolen, silk or linen, 
Avith any lace on it, silver, gold, silk or 
thread, 'uneler the penalty of forfeiture 
of such clothes."

been guilty of stealing many ye.irs ago. 
She answered, she had stolen something;

the "Scots' Charitai)le Society," which 
w;is founded in It^'iT. In the language of 
their own records, " Some Ccntlr'men

In referring to this Society, Edward

Old-Fo^yism in Boston. The 

following, an editorial in the Courier of 
June 27, 1827, reads oddly enough to-dr.y: 
" Alcibiadcs, or some other great man of 
anti(iuitv, it is said, cut off liis dog's tail 
that quid lUDics might not become extinct 
from want of excitement. Some such 
notion, we doubt not, moved one or two 
of our natural and experimental philoso- 
jdiers to get up the project of a railroad 
from Boston to Albany, — a project which 
every one knows, who Knows the simplest 
rule 'in arithmetic, to be impracticable, 
but at an expense little less than the 
market value of the whole territorj^ of 
Massachusetts; and which, if practicable, 
everv person of common-sense knows 
wouUl be as useless as a railroad from 
Boston to the moon." This is a specimen 
of the conservative spirit that has hin- 
dered progress in Boston for scores of 
years. 

Old Inns. In the early days of the 
town of Boston the Inns— 'or Taverns — 
were built like those of England, and 
named in a similar manner. After the 
Declaration of Independence, however, 
the feeling of hatred toward the mother 
country was so intense that in common 
with many other English fashions, this 
form of nomenclature was abandoned. 
The same spirit was exhibited in chang- 
ing the names of the streets, and Royal 
Alley became Blackstone Street, Queen 
Street became Court Street , King Street 
became State Street. Of late years, a 
reaction has set in, and streets and hotels 
are being named after the English. Wit- 
ness our Royal, Victoria, Brunswick, 
Bristol, Berkeley and other hotels, and 
our Arlington, 'Clarendon, Dartmouth, 
Exeter, Crloucester, Hertford, Marl- 
borough, Newbury and other streets. 
The following were some of the famous 
Inns of olden times: "The Green 
Dragon," the most noted of them all, in 
Union Street; the " Red Lyon Inn," on 
the corner of North and Richmond 
Streets, ke]it by Nicholas Upsall, a 
Quaker; "Black Horse Inn," on what is 
now Prince Street; the " Ship Tavern," 
or "Noah's Ark," corner of North and 
ClarkStreets; " The Goldeji Candlestick; " 
"The Key;" "The Star Tavern;" "The 
Elephant'Tavern; " "The Blue Anchor," 
"The Bunch of Grapes," etc. On old 
Newbury Street (now Washington Street, 
near W>st Street) " The White Horse," 
"Tho Lion" and "The Lamb Tavern." 
(The " Lnmb Tavern " was the original of 
the present Adams House). There is still 
o]»en in Williams Couit, leading from 
Court Square to Washington Street, an 
old alehouse called " TheBeU-in-Hand." 



Old Names of Streets, it is in- 
teresting to trace the changes that have 
taken place in the street-nomenclature of 
Boston. What was called Adams Square 
in 1880 was named Dock Square in 1710, and 
Around the Towne Dock inlG73; Boylston 
Street in 1808 was Frog Lane in IGDl); 
Devonshire Street, in 178G, was Pudding 
Lane in 1701) and afterwards Black Jack 
Alley; Exchange Street in 1816 was for- 
merly Royal Exchange Lane; High Street, 
since 1708, was Cow Lane in 1707; Hollis 
Street, since 1732, was Broad Alley in 1721 ; 
Kilby Street, since 17G9, was Mackerel 
Lane in 1708; Leverett Street, named 11'^, 
was Green Lane previously; North Street, 
1853, was Ann Street, Ship Street, Fish 
Street, etc., in portions; Park Street, 1803, 
was Gentry (Sentry) in 1783; Williams 
Court was Peck's Arch; Portland Street, 
1807, was Cold Lane in 1707; Prince Street, 
in 1703, was Black Horse Lane in 1G90; 
Province Street, in 1834, was Governor s 
Alley in 1730; Salem Street was Back 
Street; State Street, in 1781, was King 
Street in 1707; Summer Street, 1703, was 
Seven Star Lane; Temple Place, 1830, was 
Turnagain Alley in 1708; Tileston Street, 
1820, was Love Lane in 170 J; Walnut 
Street, 179.1, was Coventry in 1733 ; Wash- 
ington Street, 1788, bore several names; 
the part of it from Dock Square to School 
Street was called Cornhil — from School 
to Winter Street it was known as Mary- 
borough— from AYinter to Essex it was 
Ncweberry (or Newbury)— and above Es- 
sex Street it was Orange Street. These 
names were all consolidated into Wash- 
ington Street about 1823. AViuter Street, 
in 1708, had been called B^ott's Lane, etc. 
(Boston not only had Spring, Summer 
and Winter Streets nearly a century ago, 
but it also had its Milk and Water 
Streets), 

Old South End. in 1816 the South 
End of Boston was in the vi<'inity of 
Hanover Street, near its present junction 
with Washington Street. How the okl 
fogies of those days would have stared at 
one who should have expressed the 
opinion that in less than a hundred years 
the South End would be miles away, and 
the extreme North End take its 'place. 
Boston still possesses its old fogies. 

Old Time Bill-of-Fare. cap- 
tain Roger Clap, from Plymouth, England, 
who settled in Dorchester, in May, 1g;50, 
wrote to his children in England as fol- 
lows: "It is not accounted a strange 
thing to drink Water, and to eat Samp, 
or Homine. without Butter or Milk. In- 
deed it would be a strange thing to sec a 
piece of Roast Beef, Mutton or Veal; 
though it was not long before there was 
roast (roat. Once I had a Peck of Corn 
for a little Puppy-Dog. Frost-tish, Mus- 
cles and Clams are a relief to many."

Old-Time Picture of Bo3ton. 

Count ill- Koi liamhcan was sci.t from 
France in ITsii with six thoii>and men 
to assist the Inited .^tates in tlu' War 
for Indepenrienct'. He was accom|)anied 
bv the Abbe Robin, cliaplain. ami a 
famous writer <d that »lay, who wrote 
houu- in .lune, ITS], as follows: "Wind 
and weatlKT brou^rht us sale into the 
harbour of IJoston. We discovered 
throu-ih the woods, on the side toward 
tlu' West, a majrniliient prosjMct of 
houses, built on a curved line, and ex- 
tending afterwards in a semi-circle above 
half a Ica^^ue. This was IJoston. These

addition to the -t<.iks nnd the i)illf)ry, 
(dlcinial laws re(|iured erimin ils to wear

of their outer clothes. (Il.iwthorne,

a" dramatization of this tide was pri>-

Patriotic Woia^n o? Old Bos-

women of IJoston signed an agreement 
not to drink tea until the revenue act 
should be repealed. The young niLiidens 
followed, agreeing to the following;: 
" We, the daughUrs of those patriots 
who have appeared . . . for the publio 
interest ... do now with pleasure 
engage with them in denying ourselves 
the drinking of foreign tea." 

Paul Revare's Homa. Paui 

Revere's house stood on Charter Street, 
near the foot of Hanover Street, where 
Revere Place is now. It was a three- 
story brick house, painted light yellow, 
with the end to the street, the door open- 
ing upon a small green space. It was 
destroyed about the year 1847, giving 
way to the tide of " improvement " which 
has engulfed so many of Boston's historic 
old landinarks, and bids fair to continue 
to pursue its irresistible course. 

l^sn-Pistui-e of Boito^i in 

1854. Edward Johnson wrote and 
sent to London for pul)lication the fol- 
lowing description of Boston in 1654: 
I'The Center Towne and Metropolis of 
tins Wilderness is Boston. The chi-f 
Edifice of this City-like Towne is crowded 
on the Sea-bankes, and wharfed out with 
peat industry and cost; the buildinos 
beautiful and large, some fairlv set forth 
with Brick, Tile, Stone and Slate, and 
ortierly placed with comlv streets, whose 
continuall inlargement "presages some 
sumptuous City. The wonder of this 
modern age is that a few years Should 
bring forth such great matters by so 
meaneahandfull. But now behold' the 
admirable acts of Christ; at this. His 
people s landing, the hideous Thickets at 
this place were such that Wolfes and 
Beares nurst up their young, from the 
eyes of all beholders, in those verv places 
where the streets are now full of Girles 
and Boys sporting up and down, with a 
continued concourse of People." 



Peter Faneuil, who gave Faneuil 
Hall to the town of iioston, was fond of 
good living. In March, 1742, he wrote to 
one of his correspondents in London: 
" Send me, by the very first opportunity 
for this place, five pipes of your very 
best Madeira wine, of an amber colour, 
of the same sort which you sent to our 
good friend DeLancey, of [New York. 
As this wine is for the use of my house, I 
hope you will be caieful that I have the 
best.' In another letter, he wrote: " Send 
me tlie latest, best book of the several 
sorts of cookery, which pray let be of the 
laigest character, for tne benefit of the 
maid s reading." 

Pic* tare of the Boston of a 
Hundred Years Ago. Prom an 
a (hlrcss delivered by Rev. Dr. George E. 
Ellis, we take the following descripti(m 
of old Boston: "The homes of many of 
the merchant princes and high magis- 
trates were relatively more palatial than 
are any in the city" to-day. They stood 
conspicuous and large, surrounded by 
generous spaces, with lawns and trees, 
with fruit and vegetable gardens, and 
fields for pasture, and coach and cattle 
barns. There were fine equipages, with 
black coachmen and footmen. There 
were still wide itnfenced spaces, and de- 
clivities and thickets, where the bar- 
berry-bush, the flag and the mullein-stalk 
giew undisturbed! There were many 
quaint o'd nooks and corners, tiverns and 
inns, coffee-houses — the drinking-vessels 
in which were not especially adaptecJ to 
that beverage— shops designated by em- 
blems and symbols, loitering places for 
news and gossip, resorts of white boys 
and nr-groes for play or roguery, and 
some dark holes on wharf or lane. . . . 
There were some two tliousand buildings, 
four being of stone, of which King's 
Chapel alone remains. Between Beacon 
and the foot of Park Street stood the 
WorklKmse. the Poorhouse and the Bride- 
well,— all facing the Common. On the 
site of the present Park Street Church 
stood the Granary; opposite, a large 
manufactory-building used by the British 
for a hospital. The Jail occupied tlie 
site of the present Court-House. King 
and Queen Streets— now State and Court 
Streets— were the most compactly cov- 
ered, and lined witli taverns, dwellings, 
marts and offices of exchange. The 
Hf)use provided by the Province for the 
British Governor "was opposite tlie Old 
South, standing far back, stately, com- 
modious, with lawn and trees to Wash- 
ington Street. The old State House, with 
a dignitv which it has not now, held the 
Halis of" the Council and the Representa- 
tives, with Royal portraits and adorn- 
ings. How littfe is there here now which 
the patriots and citizens of the old days, 
if they came back, would recognize! "

And wafih them twice on Monday." 
This was written in consequence of the 
law forbidding b:itliing on Sunday at the 
foot ( f the Common. 

Punishment of Women in 
1648. In this year of our Lord in 
Foston, a Mrs. 'Oliver was i)ublicly 
whiiii)ed for " reproaching the magis- 
trates," and had a cleft stick put on Tier 
tongue for half an hour for " reproaching 
the elders."

Qur-.kers, were tied to a cart'.s tail an(l 
whijiped through the town wit!i 10 stripes 
aiter receiving 20 stripes at Boston. 

Quakers were hanged and buried on 
Bo->ton Comnum, near the CJreat i:im, in

his " John Endicott," puts the following 
•words into the Governor's mouth, hvit 
they do not agree with the extreme 
measures advocated by that bigoted 
functionary for exterminating the 
Quakers : , 

" Four already have heen slain; 
And others banished vi})on pain of death, 
But they come back again to meet their 

doom, 
Bringing the linen for their winding- 
sheets. 
AVe must not go too far. In truth I 

shrink 
From shedding of more blood. The 

people murmur 
At our severity." 

Hawthorne based his "Gentle Boy" — 
one of his ''Twice-told Tales " on the per- 
secutions of the Quakers in Boston. 

Quarrel at the Town Pump. 

An Englishman, Edward Ward, in l(i;>'J, 
wrote home to London: " I was mightily 
pleased, one morning, with a contention 
between two boys at a pump in Boston, 
about who should draw water first. One 
jostled the other from the handle, and he 
would fill his bucket first, because his 
master said prayers and sung psalms 
twice a day in his" family, and the other's 
master did not. To which the witty knave 
made this reply: ' Our house stands back 
in a court. If my master had a room 
next the street, as your master has, he'd 
pray twice to your master's once, that he 
would; and therefore I'll fill mj' pail first, 
marry will I! ' and did accordingly." The 
old Town Pump, here referred to, stood 
in the middle of Washington Street, a 
few yards north of Court Street towards 
Cornhill. 

Railway Speed in 1834. We 

read in the Boston Advertiser of April 8, 
1834, that the engine of the trial train 
run the day before between Boston and 
Tsewton " travelled n^itb ease at the rate 
of twenty miles an hour." 

Regulating the Height of 

Dogs. July 1, 1728, dogs were so 
numerous in Boston that a law was 
passed forbidding any pei"son to keep 
a dog " above ten inches in height." 

Roxbury in 1634. in a work 
called "Xew Englands Prospect," by 
"William Wood, — "printed at London, 
at the Three Golden Lyons in Come-hill, 
neere the I?oj-all Exchange, 16at," — Rox- 
herryis described as " a faire and hand- 
some Countrey-towne, the inhabitants ot 
It being all verj- rich. It is well-woodded 
and watered, having a cleare and fresh 
Brooke running through the To\\,-ne." 

Sabbath-Bi-^aking", in "j-e 
olden tyme" any form of Sabbath- 
breaking was looked after very care- 



fully. Sunday began at sunset on Satttrr. 
day. Shopkeei)ers were not allowed to 
keep open on Saturday evening. Wit- 
ness the following copy of a proclamation 
issued by the town authorities: 

Boston, June 9, 1746. 
By order of His Majesty's Justices of the 
Peace in the town of Boston: Whereas 
there appears a growing negligence of 
duly observing and keeping the Lord's 
Day, the Justices in the town of Boston 
have agreed to Walk and observe the 
Behaviour of the I'eople of said Town 
of Boston on said Day; and they judge 
it proper to give this Public ' Notice 
thereof; and all persons profaning the 
Lords' Day by 7iaikiti(/, sta)uli7t(/ in the 
streets, or any other way Breaking the 
Laws made tor the due observation of 
the Lord's Day, may expect the execu- 
tion of the Law upon them for all dis- 
orders of this kind. 

Samuel Adams. The people of 
the United States cr.n never suihciently 
revere the nnmoiv of Samuel Adams. 
He was born in Boston, Sept. 16, 1722; 
graduated at Harvard College 1740; took 
his Master's Degree 1743; proposed a 
Tnion of the Coh nies in Opposition to 
the Parliament of (^reat Britain, 1764; 
declared for Iiulepcndtnce, 17()8; de- 
nianded the rtnoval of the British 
Troops from Boston, 1770; opposed the 
Landing of the Tta, 1773; signed the 
Declaration of Independf nee, 177{); died, 
in Boston, Oct. 2, 1803, in his 82d year; 
committed to the Checkley Tomb, 
Granary Burying-Gmmd. Adams has 
justly been termed " The Father of the 
Anerican Eevolution." Among the 
other titles bestowed upon him have 
heen "The American Cato," "The Chief 
Incendiary," "Tribune of the People," 
" Cromwell of New England," "The La.st 
of the Puritans," etc. Adams was born in 
Purchase Street. "When fourteen years of 
age, he was admitted to Harvard, with the 
intention of becoming a minister, stimu- 
lated as he had been, bv the preaching 
of Edwards and Whitf fie'ld. His father, 
becoming unsuccessful in business, 

K laced him in a mercantile position, 
[e then began to take strong interest 
in public affairs. In 1765 Adams was 
sent to the Legislature, and annually 
after that for ten years. He was a leader, 
with pen and voice. Governor Hutcliin- 
son tenned him "Master of the Pup- 
pets." Governor Barnard said of Adams: 
" Everv' dip of his pen sting.s like a horned 
snake.*' Governor Gage ofiered to confer 
upon him such benefits as would be satis- 
factory, if he would withdraw his oppo- 
sition to the administration, and, by 
changing his course, make his peace with 
King Henry YIII. Adams answered, 
" Sir, I trust I have long since made my 
peace with the King of Kings!" Wit- 
nessing the Battle of Lexington he said 
to Hancock: "What a glorious morning

The wheels were placed regularly in 
three rows, and a young woman "wa.s 
M'aUMl at each wheel." The weavers also 
appeared, cleanly dressed, in garments 
of their own weaving. One of them 
worked at a loom on a staire carried on

There was a large number of si)Cctators.

TAL-UNI 



Talleyrand visited Boston in July 
and Auj^ust, 17i>4. Accordin^i; to William 
Sullivan he was of middle stature, with 
light hair, sallow complexion and blue 
eyes; his body large and protruberant in 
front, his lower limbs small and his feet 
deformed. 

Tax- Assessors were first ap- 
pointed, by the Court, Aug. 9, 1632. 

Tea was first used in Boston in 1635. 

Theatrical Riot. The Edmund 
Kean riot, at the old Boston Theatre, oc- 
curred in 1825. 

The King's Missive. In 1657, a 
Quaker, Samuel Shattock, was publicly 
whipped for expostulating against th3 
gagging of anotiier Quaker. Shattock 
was banished, subsequently. He went to 
London, secured a royal order from the 
King to have all Quakers arrested in 
Boston sent to England for punishment, 
and returned here to inform Governor 
Endicott of the order of the King. All 
Quakers were released from jail. How- 
ever, Quakers were after that whipped at 
the cart's tail through the streets of 
Boston. The Quaker poet, ^Yhittier, has 
in his poem, "The King's Missive," 
graphically described the proceedings. 
"We select the following stanzas from 
that poem: 

" One brave voice rose above the din; 

IJpsall— gray with his length of days- 
Cried, from the door of his Red Lion inn, 

' Men of Boston! Give God the praise! 
No more shall innocent blood call down 
The bolts of wrath on your guilty town; 
The freedom of worship dear to you 
Is dear to all, and to all is due. 

" ' I see the vision of days to come. 

When your beautiful City of the Bay 
Shall be Christian liberty's chosen home. 
And none shall his neighbor's rights 
gainsay; 
The varying notes of worship shall blend 
And as one great prayer to God ascend; 
And hands of mutual charity raise 
Walls of salvation and gates' of praise ! ' 

So passed the Quakers through Boston 

town, 
Whose painful ministers sighed to see 
The walls of their sheep-fold falling down, 

And Avolves of heresy prowling free. 
But the years went on, and brought no 

wrong ; 
With milder counsels the State grew 

strong. 
As outward Letter and inward Light 
Kept the balance of truth aright." 

Tom and. Jerry was the name of 
a famous old drink in Boston and New 
England, having been in vogue as early 
as 1825. A member of a teinperance so- 
ciety in 1839 was disciplined for drinking, 



and tho excuse was that the intoxicated 
man had not ))een drinking anything, but 
had " eaten some Tom and Jerry with a 
spoon."

Winthrop and the Indians. 

The s.ttUrs of r.oston, owing to the f;;(t 
tlnit th<- ]»eniusula was s«» easily guarded, 
li:id but little to fear from the Indians, 
who wj-re general'v friendly, and di sired

his sannops and scjuaws, from Neponset,

a hogshiad of corn. The Covcnior gave 
the partv a dinner. In April, the Indian 
chief returned and wanted to tr:ide with 
the (;overnor for an Knglish suit of 
clothes. But Winthiop reminded him

that it was undignified for sap;amorcs to 
swap, and gave orders to his own tailor, 
and had the great Indian Chief put into 
a brand new "suit of clothes of the Litest 
London fashion from head to foot. Chi-

" dude " on record. 



Women's Rights in 1777. 

]VIrs. Jobn Adams wrote, July 31, 1777, of 
affairs in Boston: "There is a great 
scarcity of sugar and coffee — articles 
which the fenia^les are very loath to give 
ui», especially whilst they consider the 
scarcity occasioned by the mercliants 
having- secreted a large quantity. . . . 
It was rumored that an eminent,'wealthy, 



stingy raerchatit (who is a bachelor) had 
a hogshead of coffee in liis store, Vv'hich 
he refused to sell the committee under 
six sliillings per pound. A number of 
females— some say a hundred— assembled 
with a cart and trunks, marclied down 
to the warehouse and demanded the 
keys, which he refused to deliver. Upon 
wilich one of tliem seized him by the 
neck and tossed him into the cart. Upon 
his finding no quarter hie delivered tho 
keys, when they tipped up the cart and 
discharged him; then opened tlie ware- 
house, lioisted out tlie coffee themselves, 
put it into the trunlis, and drove off. A 
large concourse of men stood amazed, 
silent spectators of the whole trans- 
action! "

In 1701 there was erected on Gentry 
(Beacon) Hill a monument to replace the 
wooden beacon (a cut of Avhich may be 
seen on the right-hand side of the cover 
of this work) which was bloAvn down, 
Nov. 26, 1789. In the panels of the monu- 
ment were inscriptions designed to com- 
memorate leading events of the Ameri- 
can Ecvolution. These panels are now 
to be seen on the walls of the corridor 
opening on the right from Doric Hall, 
State House, Beacon St., having been 
placed there Feb. 21, ISGl. The inscrip- 
tions on the south and east side panels 
arc as follows :

same, 1766; establishment of Board of 
Customs, 1767; British Troops fired on 
the inhabitants of Boston, March 5, 1770;

can Army, at Cambridge, July 3, 1775; 
Boston evacuated by the British, March

The monument from which these panels 
were taken was removed Oct. 9, 1804. 
The gilt eagle surmounting the monu- 
ment is placed above the speaker's chair 
in the House of Representatives, State 
House. 



At the State House there are fac-simi- 
les of the Memorial Stones of the Wash- 
ington Family in the parish church of 
Brington, near Althorp, Northampton- 
shire, England, the burial-place of the 
Spencers. These Stones were presented 
by the Right Honorable Earl Spencer to 
Honorable Charles Sumner, and by him 
given to the State of Massachusetts, 
Feb. 22, 18G1. These JMemorial Stones are 
of Lawrence Washington (father of John 
Washington, who was great-grandfatln r 
of George Washington) and of Robeit 
(uncle to John Washington). 



The famous Parting Stone (dividing 
stone) stands at the corner of Washing- 
ton and Centre Streets in the Roxbuiy 
District. It was erected by Paul Dudley, 
and bears on its front the following:

Opening of the New National 
Theatre. This theatre was located 
upon the corner of Portland and Traverse 
Streets, and replaced what was known as 
the old National Theatre, which was 
opened Aug. 15, 1836, and destroyed by tire 
April 22, 1852. (Previous to the old Na- 
tional there stood on the same site the 
Warren Theatre — named in honor of Gen- 
eral Joseph Warren — opened July 3, 1832, 
hy William Pelby). The new National 
Theatre was opened on Monday evening, 
November 1, 1852, by Joseph Leonard. 
The program comprised George Colman 
the Younger's 

The Heir at Law. 

Dr. Pangloss Douglas Stewart 

(His first appearance in America). 

Daniel Dowlas Wm. H. Curtis 

Dick Mr. Prior 

Kenrick S. D. Johnson 

Lady Duberly Mrs. Archbold 

Cicely Mrs. W. H. Smith 

(Other characters by the company) and 
the Farce of 

John Dobbs, 
the latter being played by Cornelia Jef- 
ferson, Bertha Lewis, Douglas Stewart,. 
W. H. Curtis, S. D. Johnson and V. 
Hays. Previous to the performance of 
the comedy, W. M. Leman read an orig- 
inal address written by W. O. Eaton. 
(The "Douglas Stewart''^ of the bill was 
the nom de theatre of Edward A. Sothern, 
who, on this occasion made his first ap- 

Eearance in America, and who later 
ecame famous as the impersonator of 
Jord Dundreary. His performance of 
Dr. Pangloss was a disappointment). 
John Holloway was musical director ; S. 
Lake, ballet-master. Prices were as fol- 
lows: Dress circle and parquette, 50 
cents; second or family circle, 25 cents; 
third circle or gallery, 25 cents; private 
boxes, single ticket $1. Doors were 
opened at 6.30, the curtain rising at 7 
o'clock. Canton Street, Dover Street, 
Cambridge, Roxbury, Charlestown and 
South Boston omnibusses were run at 
the close of the performance, and a train 
for old Cambridge left at 11.15 every 
evening except Saturday. 

Opening o£ tlie Present Bos- 
ton Theatre. On Monday evening, 
September 11, 1854, the magnificent Bos- 
ton Theatre was first opened to the 
])ub]ic, under the management of Thomas 
Barry. It is in most respects to-day what 
it was then, the finest theatre on this 
continent. There may be some few others 
that nearly approach it in size of audi- 
torium, but as respects grandeur, breadth 
and depth of stage, height of proscen- 
ium, acoustic effects, and general re- 
sources, as well as roomy corridors and 
anterooms, no other dramatic establish- 
iiient in the country rivals it. This is the 
testimony of all the great foreign stars 



who make tours in America. On the 
occasion of its opening the following bill 
was i)resented, after National airs and 
Rossini's overture to William Tell had 
been performed by Thomas Comer's or- 
chestra, and a prize address had been 
delivered by John Gilbert (written by T. 
W. Parsons):

Calvert), Miss Clara Biddies (Mrs. Thomas 
Barry), Mrs. Hudson Kirby, James Ben- 
nett, J. B. Howe, T. E. Morris, N. C. 
Forrester and John H. Selwyn. The 
architects were Jonathan Pjeston, E. C. 
and J. E. Cabot. The theatre was built 
by a stock company, including many 
prominent citizens. Mr. Barry continued 
as manager for five years. In 1860-1 Ber- 
nard Ullman became manager, and gave 
the theatre the name of the Academy 
of Music. {See Boston Theatre in Histo- 
ries of the Theatres). 

First Night of the Conti- 
nental Theatre. Messrs. Morris 
Brothers, Pell & Trowbridge, managers 
of the Minstrel Hall on Washington 
Street, opposite the head of Milk Street 
(in the old Province House), where they 
had been successful for about ten years 
in providing entertainments, became 
ambitious to become managers of the 
legitimate drama, and built on Washing- 
ton Street, corner of Harvard Street, the 
Continental Theatre. (The site was pre- 
viously occupied by the Apollo Garden, 
and tlie Continental Clothing House now 
stands on the spot.) The theatre opened 
Monday evening, Jan. 1, 18G6, with the 
following bill:

potent in the want of success of this 
theatre were numerous, the chit f reasons

ity. He died, in Philadelphia-; Dec. 12,

Pinafore's F"r3t American 

Performance. Gilbert and Sulli- 
van's operetta, " Pinafore," originally 
produced at the Savoy Theatre, London, 
was first brought out in America at the 
Boston Museum, M<mday evening, Xov. 
25, 1878, where it had a run of 66 perform- 
ances before it was played before any 
other American public. The original 
American distribution of characters was 
as follows :

Avas Mrs. James H. Jones: Mifs Marie 
yrainwright is now Mrs. Louis James; 
IVIiss Lizzie Harold is now Mrs. AVilliain 
J. Comley; " Little Gertrude " is Miss 
Calef. Previous to Mr. R. M. Field's 
decision to bring out this operetta, sev- 
eral other managers had declined to take 
the venture, considering the work " too 
English " to ever become successful in 
this country. How well their judgment 
has been verified is illustrated by the 
record of its performances in America. 
Since Mr. Field took the initiative step in 
introducing this class of operas to our 
public, not only "Pinafore," but " Pa- 
tience," " lolanthe " and "The Mikado", 
have had long and prosperous seasons 
here, " lolanthe " reaching a run of 150 
performances at the Bijou Theatre, and : 
"The Mikado" making a record of KA] 
consecutive representations at the Ilollis 
Street Theatre.

Opening of tlie Hcllis-Street 

Theatre. The opening of the beanti- 
lul Hollis-Street Theatre, built mostly 
within the walls of the old Hollis Street 
Church (which had been abandoned by 
the congregation worshii)ping there, for 
the same reason that the Old South, 
Brattle Street, Baldwin Place, and other 
churches had been deserted, namely, that 
the members of their congregations had 
left their former residences near those 
places of worship, owing to the steady 
encroachment of business). The Hollis

AFTER LIFE'S FITFUL FEVER. 



And what were life— life's w<irk all done 
The hopes, loves, joys that cling to

admission; free reading-rooms in great

etc. In fact, this city offers such unriv- 
alled and remarkable free auxiliaries to 
the student pursuing almost any branch 
of education, it is not surprismg that 
thousands of young persons, from all 
sections of the country, are thronging to 
obtain an academic, musical, or art edu- 
cation in Boston, the literary, musical 
and art centre of the United States, the 
second commercial city of the country; 
and having within a radius of less than 
twenty-five mik s a population of nior& 
than a million of j^cople. 

Abbott Academy. (1829). An- 
dover. Established for the education cf 
girls. Languages— French and German; 
music, painting, elocution, zoology, 

feology, botany, etc., are among the 
ranches taught. Terms, per year, for 
board and instruction,— excepting music, 
drawing and painting — $;300. Andover 
is twenty miles from Boston. 

Abercrombie Boston Ora- 
torio School. (1885). 181 Tremont 
St. Boston is the home of Oratorio in 
the United States, its Handel and Haydn 
Society having long occvi])ied the fore- 
most position among the Choral Societies 
of America. It ranks well with similar 
organizations in England. Recognizing 
Boston's pre-eminence in this department 
of musical art, Charles Abercrombie, 
who has for some years occupied the 
position of tenor at Her Majesty's Chapel 
IJoyal, St. James Palace, London, and a 
pupil of the most eminent masters of 
London, came here at the opening of the 
musical season of 1885-6 and established 
an Oratorio School, the only institution 
of the kind anywhere, whic'h is attract- 
ing pupils from every section of the 
Ignited States and Canada. His success 
has been so phenomenal that he has de- 
cided to remain permanently in Boston. 
His method combines the best features 
of the systems of his famous teachers. 

Academy for Teaching Band 

mxzcic, (1871). 281 Columbus av. Un- 
der the direction of J. B. Claus, the dis- 
tinguished Band Master. Terms: 20 one- 
hour lessons, in classes of four pupils, 
$15. 

Adams Acadeiay. Quincy. For 
preparing beys for Harvard University. 
Tuition /ree to those residing in Quincy. 

Adams Operatic School. (i885). 
159 Tremont st. Ui)on his retirement 
from active professional duties upon the 



operatic stage, Charles H. Adam.s, the 
greatest dramatic tenor America has yet 
produced, decided to establish himself in 
Boston as a teacher of singing. He soon 
became known as one of the foremost 
vocal teachers of the world, and pupils 
from all parts of the United States came 
to obtain instruction from him. Many 
■who had contemplated going to Europe 
for a course of study changed their plans 
and came to Boston instead, thereby sav- 
ing money, to say nothing of the \ime, 
the disconif orts of ocean voyages, foreign 
travel, etc. Finding a great'desire among 
his pupils for operatic instruction, he es- 
tablished in the autumn of 1885 an oper- 
atic school. He had constructed a stage, 
with scenery, properties', and all the ap- 
pointments of a regular theatre, on a small 
scale to be sure, but amply sufficient to 
enable his pupils to appear in scenes from 
operas, in costume, and before audiences 
invited to witness their jjerformances, 
some of which would do credit to artists 
of recognized ability. Boston now has 
rn Operatic School 'in which any city 
might well take pride. 

Agricultural Schools. (See 
Jiuss^^/ I:!f:H'i(te, Farm School and Dos^ 
ton University College of Agricxdturc): 

Allen's Stenographic Insti- 
tute. 15 State St. Among the noted 
institutions for imparting jjirictical, itsc- 
ffil knowledge in Boston, Allen's Steno- 
graphic Institute must be mentioned 
among the foremost. Its reputation is 
not merely local; it extends to the most 
distant sections of the United States and 
the Canadas, from all of which come 
liupils to prepare themselves for active 
and profitable duties in life. A knowl- 
edge of stenography is one of the most 
valuable acquisitions that can possibly 
be learned by one in any position in life; 
it is equally important to the student, 
the professional gentleman and the busi- 
ness man. Allen's Stenographic Institute 
is the oldest, largest, and most noted 
Shorthand School in New England. By 
the method taught here the student 
learns each princi/ Ir, both mentally and 
meeiianically, applies it in general litera- 
ture, and is enabled to read it before 
taking the next step, and therefore 
where there is an inclination, and time 
for practice, with even the most ordinary 
ability, there is no possibi'ity of a failure 
to make the art practicable; that is, ta 
report an average speaker verbatim; 
because, with the first lesson, the student 
will be enabled to write with from one- 
seventh to one-twentieth as manv strokes 
as would be required in longhand writing, 
and, consequently, when as well learned, 
the shorthand should be written nearly 
seven times as fast. Whenever a person 
can write more rapidly than by longhand, 
and read it, it will be In that proportion 
more valuable than longhand, in, taking

beginning. Terms: Elocution class, f 10;

Bussey Institute School of 

Agriculture and Horticulture. 
(1870), Jamaica Plain District. A de- 
partment of Harvard University. The 
great estate contains 3G0 acres, 137 of 
which are taken for the uses of the arbo- 
retum. (See Arnold Arboretum.) The 
fjrounds are naturally exceedingly 
jeautiful, comprising upland, -woodland, 
hills and meadows, among whicli are 
rippling brooks, the scene being one of 
the most charming to be found anywhere, 
especially within the precincts of*^a great 
commercial city. It has all the attrac- 
tions of a rural landscape, combined with 
such artistic features as have been taste- 
fully added. Very few of the inhabitants 
of the crowded city know what a sylvan 
spot can be reached in a ride of a few 
minutes' duration; but when the charms 
of this region are fully realized, as they 
will be when the park of 164 acres (120 
acres of the arboretum and 4-1 acres nd- 

i'oiniug) is made free to the public. The 
5ussey School was established here 
through the princely liberality of the late 
Benjamin Bussey, who bequeathed the 
valuable estate for the purjjose of found- 
ing a school of agriculture, together 
with funds to be applied toward the 
same purpose. The school was opened 
in 1870, suitable buildings having been 
erected and roadways laid out. The 
school now has several eminent instruc- 
tors, practical education being given to 
numerous students. Recitations, lec- 
tures, experiments, etc., conducted here 
are reported, widely, and the Institute 
is assuming a foremost position among 
the great educational institutions of the 
land. The scientific study of agriculture 
and horticulture is one that may well in- 
terest the youth of this country, and the 
Bussey Institute, by its facilities for ex- 
perimental investigation, its means, and 
the thorough methods of its Faculty, 
must continue to attract students froin 



every section of the continent. Those 
who do not intend taking degrees are 
permitted to join the school at any time 
without examination, and take up any 
l)ranch they please. Candidates for the 
degree of Bachelor of Agricultural (or 
Horticultural) science, if not fitted, are 
required to ])ass one year at the Lawrence 
Scientific School (Cambridge). Fees, aca- 
demic year, f 150; half year, ^75; any sin- 
gle course, $40 a year.

Chauncy Hall School. (1828). 
259 Boylston st. Founded by Gideon F. 
Thayer. Now conducted by Ladd (Wnji. 
H,) and Daniell (M. Grant), assisted by 
thirty teachers. Branches taught: Lan- 
guajres, book-keeping, elocution, decla- 
mation, penmanship, singing, drawing, 
chemistry, physics, botany, mineralogy, 
zoology, and military drill. For boys 
and girls. For 77iore than half a, century 
this School has been celebrated through- 
out America for its high standard, Its 
thorough and effective methods, and, 
also, for its watchful care over the bodily 
health of its pupils. This School makes 
a specialty of taking healthy, bright 
children, particularly boys, who wish to 
make more rapid progress than the ar- 
rangements of public schools allow; 
backward boj's or girls, who are assisted 
by extra teachers; delicate cliildren, Avho 
cannot study out of school; those who 
have unusual talent for music, painting, 
or modern languages, and other children 
who are so susceptible to changes of heat 
or cold, and need to study in an even, 
well-ventilated temperature, Chauncy 
Hall School is delightfully located, front- 
ing Copley sq,; fresh air and sunshine 
contribute greatly to the other great ad- 
vantages of its situation. These collat- 
eral benefits should be regarded by every 
parent and guardian who desires to see 
the young pupil possess " a sound mind 
in a healthy body." It is certainly a 
model private school in every particular.

letters, education, or public affairs. It 
accordingly provides thorough and sys- 
tematic instruction in all those branches 
of literature, i)hiiosophy and science, 
known as the Liberal Arts. The degrees 
of Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of 
Philosophy are conferred at this college. 
Expenses:' the only annual fees required 
from regular students in the College of

tals, $10. 

College of Music, Eo;::toa 
University. (1872). 27 East Xewton 
St., Franklin sq. This college of music 
forms one of the great group of colleges 
comprising the Boston University (12 
Somerset St.). It is the onlij institution 
of its grade and kind in America. This 
college of music is designed for students 
of the average proficiency of graduates 
of the best American conservatories of 
music. The advantages accruing to it 
from its location in Boston, and from its 
close association with Boston University, 
are very great. Here persons devoting 
themselves to this profession are enabled 
to complete a liberal education before 
beginning their special musical training. 
The best years for acquiring scholastic 
culture are also the best years for culti- 
vating the voice, the ear and the hand. A 
generous intellectual and aesthetic cul- 
ture is needed by every professional 
musician, and it is best acquired in con- 
nection with bis special studies. The ap- 
plicant for taking the piano-forte course 
at this college will be tested as to famil- 
iarity with Cramer's studies (Biilow), 
books 1 and 2; or dementi's Gradus ad 
Parnassum (Tausig edition) ; Bach's 
Three-part Inventions ; Moschelcs, op. 
70; Mayer, op. 119, book 1; Bach's French 
and English Suites ; Kullak's Octaves, 
op. 49; Beethoven's Sonatas, etc. Candi- 
dates for the organ course will be exam- 
ined in Rink's Organ School ; Lemmens, 
Bach, Mendelssohn, and others. Tuition 
in voice, piano-forte or organ courses, 
including comi)osition and lectures, $200 
per year. The opportunities for culture 
outside of the college in Boston are too 
numerous to recapitulate. The Boston 
Public Library and the library of the 
college furnish a collection of ten thou- 
sand volumes relating to music, access to 
which is free. 

College o£ Pharmacy. (Massa- 
chusetts). (1823). 1151 Washington st. 
The first apothecary shop in Boston of 
which history gives any account was that 
of William Davis, which was opened in 
1646 on Washington St., a few steps north 
of the head of State st. The town pump 
was set up near his shop, in 1G50, Mr. 
Davis had a residence on State St., near 
Kilby St. He was captain of the Ancient 
and Honorable Artillery ComiDany— the 
oldest military organization in the coun- 
try, having been formed in 1G38, and is 



still an active company— from 1664 to 
1072. The earliest movement for the im- 
provement of pharmacy by legal means 
was made by the Massachusetts Medical 
Society, Nov. 8, 1786, when the Legislar 
ture was petitioned to prevent the sale of 
poor and adulterated drugs. The Mas- 
sachusetts College of Pharmacy was for- 
mally instituted in January, 1823. Early 
in this century apothecaries feeling a 
need of increased scientific knowledge 
were accustomed to resort to the Har- 
vard Medical College. Courses of lectures 
were delivered before the members of 
the College of Pharmacy about 1858. In 
1867 efforts were made to form a class of 
drug-store clerks of Boston. Twenty 
young men joined the class. The results 
were so successful that the College 
resolved to establish a i)ermanent 
practical School of Pharmacy. The in- 
stitution has steadily grown, and the 
students now represent a number of 
cities and towns outside of Boston, who 
are attracted by the high standard of 
scientific knowledge imparted. The Col- 
lege has one of the largest pharmaceuti- 
cal liliraries in the United States, in 
addition to complete files of foreign 
journals devoted to this subject. The 
regular course of instruction occupies 
six months, from October to March of 
every year. (Elective courses in micro- 
scopical and systematic Botany are offered 
to classes of twelve or more.) Fees: 
Preliminary examination for matricula- 
tion, §4 ($2 to students employed by 
members); examination for graduation, 
§10; each of the Professors' courses, $15; 
all special courses, $15. The College oc- 
cupies a building on Washington St., just 
above Dover st. Horse-cars from all 
1^1 rts of the city and railway stations 
pass frequently. 

College of Physicians and 
Surgeons. 34 Essex st. (See Medical

men in the United States enjcjys a higher 
reput.ation than this, and in no'institution 
of a similar class is there a higher stan- 
dard of education nor a more thorough 
system employed. Instruction in element- 
ary English studies is here imparted in 
the most through manner; French and 
German is taught by the most accom- 
plished naiit'C teachers; while the depart- 
ments devoted to preparing students for 
Harvard (and other universities), the 
Massachusetts Institute of Technology 
(and other scientific schools), as w^ell as 
for business life, are carefully and system- 
atically organized, and carried out with 
a view to the pupil's successfully passing 
any examination. Terms : $200 a year.

Concord School of Philoso- 
phy. (1S7S). Concord. Throu<rhout the 
Icnirth and breadth of the land has the 
Concord School of I'hilosojjhv made its 
inlluence felt, and the beautifiillv U»catert 
and historic old town attracts' quite a 
number of the great thinkers and educa- 
tors of the country every summer. It 
is only VJ mi'.es from Boston, is easily 
reached by two great railwav lines, the 
Boston and Lowell, and Titchburg, and 
tli'>se who attend the sessiims of the 
school can keep their lodgings in the city 
if thev tlo not care to remain in Concord 
over night. The idea of the establish- 
ment of this school occurred to its jirin- 
cipal founder, the distinguished \. iJron- 
son Alcott, iLS early a.s 1S4-, and, some 
Knglish friends co-oj>crating wiih liir.i, 
he lM>gan the formation of a lilirarj- of 
}iliilosoi)hic works in that year. The o"pen- 
ing of the school, however, was delaved 
until the year ls7".». It re<M-ived warm 
encouragement fronj Ilali)h Walilo Kmer-

Cyrus A. Bartol, Francis B. Sanborn,

all of whom (h'livered lectures before the 
school during the lirst session (187H), the 
attendance largciv exeie<ling the expec- 
tations of the faculty. Julia Ward 
Howe, (leorge I'arsons Lathrop, andother 
well-known men and women have con- 
tributed lectures. The sessions were 
originally held in Mr. Alcotl's study, 
Orchard House, but during the second 
year of the School the Hill-Side Chapel 
was built, and all meetings are now held 
there. The ])ermanent and active mcm- 
liers of the Faculty are Messrs. Alcott, 
Harris, Phncry and Sanborn. Regarding 
i»urpo.s4\s of the School, we quote from 
*Ir. Sanborn's sketch of the institution, 
as follows: "The variety of subjects con- 
sidered during the six .summers that the 
scho(d has existed shows that its scoj)e is 
not a narrow one; ajiil the wide diversity 
«)f oi>inion among those who have sj)okcn 
from its platform may serve as a guaran- 
tee that no limitation of sect or i)hil(>- 
8ophical Shibboleth has been enf(»rced. 
The aim of the Faculty h:is been to bring 
togi'ther a few of those ])crsons, who, in 
America, liavc i)ursued, or desire to ]>nr- 
Bue, the paths of speculative philosojiliv; 
to encourage these students and profes.s- 
ors to conjmunicate with each other on 
what they have learned or meditated; 
and to illustrate, by a constant reference 
to poetry and the higher literature, thf)se 
ideas which ])hilosophy jtresents." Eighth 
session of the school, July 14, 1h,h<;, the 
lectures and conversations of tin; first 
week being on Dante and his Divine 
Comedy; the secontl on Plato and his In-

Co-wles Art School. (1873). New 
Studio Building. 145 Dartmouth st. This 
celebrated Art School is established in a 
commodious, finely-located building, es- 
pecially designed for it. The studios are 
of good size, well lighted and ventilated, 
and furnished with every convenience. 
The success of this school has thus far 
been simply phenomenal in the history of 
similar institutions in this or any other 
counti-y. Taking the famous Academic 
Julian, of Paris, as a model, the Cowles 
School seeks to give art students such 
advantages as are particularly and pecul- 
iarly valuable, and in addition to the de- 
sign of giving a continuous and thorough 
training in art, the school has a purpose 
to meet, in a wholesome way, the needs of 
a considerable number of earnest students 
who are not able to attend for long periods 
at a time, or who have been obliged to 
gain their instruction in an irregular and 
unequal manner, and retjuire the making 
up of deficiencies in special lines of study, 
or of those who need some instruction to 
better fit them for special work, as a 
means of livelihood. The practical fea- 
tures of the arrangements of the school 
are as worthy of commendation as are 
its artistic phases. One mission of this 
school — according to the prospectus — is 
•' to aid in diffusing some correct knowl- 
edge of art among those who study it as 
a recreation, and who, without the privi- 



lege, which the school gives, of consulting 
their convenience as to the time of at- 
tendance, or without having its ojjpor- 
tunities suit edfo*/ heir mcav ft, wnn](\ne\er 
receive that education — even if limited— 
of their natural taste, which tends to 
elevate the general appreciation of good 
Art. An arrangement is made by w^hich 
students who are compelled to attend 
irregularly may do so." The school is 
under the management of Frank M. 
Cowles, one of the most thorough, con- 
scientious and able conservators of art in 
the United States, to whose friendly en- 
couragement many a successful artist is 
willing to bear grateful testimony. We 
can ourselves vouch for the almost mar- 
vellous progress of several pui)ils under 
his direction, having witnessed their 
gradual, but constant improvement, and 
listened to their praise of his painstaking 
kindness. The Faculty of this great 
school, which is recognized not only 
throughout America, but in Europe as 
well, as a model one, includes Dennis 
Miller Bunker (drawing and painting the 
figure and head, from the flat, cast and 
life, artistic anatomy and composition), 
Abbott F. Graves (])ainting flowers and 
still life), Mercy A. Bailey (drawing, paint- 
inji;, water colors and perspective), Fred- 
erick M. Turnbull, M. D. (lectures and 
demonstrations of artistic anatomy); J. 
Harvey Young, Edgar Parker and Henry 
Hitchings (visitors), Frank M. Cowles 
(manager). Tuition: for regular course, 
2 lessons from one teacher, use of studio, 
models, all day, for 5 days in each week, 
1st month, $15. Reductions are made to 
continuous students. For season, 35 
weeks, $100 for new student. Special 
students, 5 lessons, $8; 9 lessons, $14. 
Saturday classes, 1 lesson, $2; per month, 
$6. Evening classes, $8 per month. (Take 
Dartmouth St., Back Bay or Columbus av.

Cyr School of French Lan- 
guage, llichwood House, 25S Treimmt 
St. M. Narcisse Cyr is the Director, his 
name being a sufficient guarantee of the 
excellence and thoroughness of the school, 
which has attained more than a national 
reputation. Its pupils represent every 
section of the country. 

Dana Hall School. Welleslcy. 
This is a school established for the pur- 
pose of preparing pupils to enter Welles-

special reference to corresponding courses 
at the College.

EVE-FRE 



Violin as can be had here. Tuition: one 
term of 20 lessons (in class of 4), $20. Be- 
ginners, first term, $15. Some of the 
most distinguished violin Ctrl uosi , UK^ud- 
ing such artists as Edouard Remenyi, 
have accorded high praise to this school. 
Mr. Remenyi, in a letter to Mr. Eichberg, 
says: "I need not tell you that there is 
nothing like your Violin School in Amer- 
ica; honestly there is scarcely anything 
better in Europe. // a man wants to 
Isarn to play the violin, he certainly can 
learn it at your school. My dear Eich- 
berg, let me congratulate you on your 
success, and thank you as only (me cun to 
whom the violin in particular — and mu- 
sic in general — is so dear." Wilhelmj, 
Ole Bull and others have warmly com- 
mended the svstem of instruction here.

Flora E. Barry's School cf 

Vocal Instruction, and for 
Preparing Artists for the Lyric 
Stage. 124 Chandler st. Mrs. Barry 
h:!S more than a local reputation as an 
artiste and teacher. She has filled en- 
gagements with some of the most cele- 
brated Opera Companies in the country 
most successfully, receiving the highest 
praise of critics and public — among them 
the Hess Grand English Opera Company, 
the Mahn English Opera Company, etc.— 
and her recent artistic performances at 
the Hollis Street Theatre are fresh in the 
minds of all who witnessed them. Mrs. 
Barry has for some years been one of the 
brightest ornaments of our local lyric 
stage, not only in opera, but in concert 
and oratorio as well, being equally suc- 
cessful as an exponent of the classical 
or lighter schools. Even so critical an 
authority as John S. Dwight, the seve- 
rest musical critic in America, has given 
her the highest iiraise, as will be seen by 
the following extract from his Journal : 
" It was pleasant to hear again the warm, 
rich tones of Flora E. Barry, who sang 
her beautiful selections in lier usual re- 
fined artistic style, and with true musical 



feeling. She loses nothing of tlie purple 
bloom or tenderness of her voice. A more 
sympathetic, purely musical contralto we 
do not know; such' a voice certifies to a 
fine musical nature." Mrs. Barry has the 
rare faculty of imparting her perfect 
method, as many of her pupils bear wit- 
ness. Boston is' indeed fortunate in pos- 
sessing so eminent a teacher. She makes 
an especial feature of preparing students 
for concert, oratorio and operatic stage. 
Terms: 20 half-hour lessons, $45; 20 one- 
hour lessons, §^80.

the advisability of opening Kindergartens 
among the poorer classes of the com-

Harvard Annex. ( CoJleqe for Wo- 
men). (1870). Cambridge. The Society 
for the Collegiate Instruction of Women 
by Professors and other instructors of 
Harvard University, has established in 
Greenough House, Garden St., over- 
looking Cambridge Common, America's 
Great College for Women. It is placed 
far beyond all other existing schools for 
the gentler sex, not only oii account of 
the extremely high standard adopted by 
its Board of Management, but also by 
reason of its unique advantage in having 
instruction given by eminent Professors 
of the foremost University on the con- 
tinent, in addition to many Instructors 
of the same institution, comprising a 
Faculty of nearly fifty of the leading 
educators of the land. The President of 
the Society for the Collegiate Instruction 
of Women, under whose auspices the 
Harvard Annex has been steadily prosper- 
ous, is Mrs. Louis Agassiz. Arthur Gilmau 
is Secretary (5 Waterhouse st., Cambridge); 
the Treasurer being Miss Lillian Hors- 
ford (27 Craigie St., Cambridge). The 
Executive Committee include Miss Alice 
M. Longfellow, James B. Greenough, and 
Joseph B. Warner. Members of the 
Corporation are Charles Eliot Norton and 
Henry L. Higginson. The courses of 
study include Hebrew; Sanskrit and 
Comparative Philology; Greek; Latin; 
English; German; French; Italian; 
Philosophy; Political Economy; History; 
Fine Arts;' Music; Mathematics; Physics; 
Astronomy; Chemistry; Natural History. 
Candidates should make formal applica- 
tion for admission to the Secretary, who 
will furnish blanks for the pur]>ose. 
Special students who wish to pursue 
only higher studies, will not be required 
to pass the regular examinations, pro- 
vided they satisfy the instructors of 
their ability to pursue these special 
studies with advantage. The courses of 
study given here are similar to those 
offered at Harvard University, thereby 
fully realizing, at last, the equal edncafio/i 
of the sexes. Any student, at the end of 
her period of study, is entitled to a cer- 
tificate, stating the studies in which she 
has passed satisfactory examinations. 
Any one passing with distinction such 

examinations as are required for Honors 
in Harvard University, shall receive a 
certificate to that effect. One pursuing

Harvard University School 

of Music. It is superflous to stnte 
that no School of Music in the world hns 
a more exalted standard than that main- 
tained at the Harvard University Musical 
Department. Under the direction of 
John Knowles Paine, Avho is universally 
recognized as Americ^a's foremost native 
composer, this institution takes rank 
with the renowned Music Schools of Ber- 
lin, Leipsic, Stuttgard, Paris, London and 
other cities of the Old AVorld. Indeed, 
since its establishment, numbers of stu- 
dents have attended this school instead 
of going abroad to study. The courses 
are in general as follows: For the first 
course some proficiency in pianoforte or 
organ playing is required; the third 



course requires a knowledge of musical 
notation; the advanced courses are the 
second, fifth and sixth. Coarse \: The 
fundamental i^rinciples of the theory of 
music are embodied in the study of Har- 
mony, which treats of the different 
chords in their natural relations and 
combinations. Richter's Harmony is 
used as the basis of the instruction, with 
illustrations and explanations in the 
class-room. The work will consist chietty 
of written exercises on figured basses, 
which will be played over and corrected 
in the class-room. Before the close of 
the year well-kno^vn chorals and national 
airs will be harmonized. Course 2: 
Counterpoint applies the principles of 
harmony to the melodious treatment of 
the several voice parts in combination. 
The art of musical composition begins 

})roperly with this course, and is there- 
fore indispensable to the thorough stu- 
dent. Richter's Counterpoint is used in 
teaching this course. The work consists 
principally of written exercises on given 
themes, in the following order: cliorals 
and other melodies harmonized, using 
passing notes; the different orders in 
counterpoint in tv/o, three and four 
voices; double counterpoint in the oc- 
tave; free imitative counterpoint in two, 
three and four voices. The simple forms 
of free composition, organ preludes, 
songs and part songs, will be composed 
by the students in this course. Course 3: 
The History of Music, comprehending 
the whole field of Musical Art. The 
gradual development of music from 
ancient to modern times is traced, giving 
the liistory of Gregorian church music: 
the origin and development of the modern 
scales and counterpoint; the clioral music 
of the Flemish and Italian masters of 
the 15th and IGth centuries; history of 
the opera, cantata, oratorio; instrumental 
music, with the development of the 
present classical forms of composition as 
represented by the great masters; musical 
instruments, ancient and modern, etc., 
etc. Vocal and instrumental illustrations 
are performed in the class-room. In- 
struction is given in this course in the 
form of lectures, the following books 
being recommended for reference: Von 
Dommer's Musik Geschichte, Ritter's 
History of Music (2 volumes), Bonavia 
Hunt's Concise History of Music; Grove's 
Dictionary of Music. (A full list of 
w^orks on this subject will be supplied by 
Professor Paine.) Course, 5 is the most 
advanced course in strict composition, 
naturally succeeding courses 1 and 2. 
Richter's Canon and Fugue is the text- 
book. The time is mainly occupied in 
composition of original and given themes, 
consisting of choral variations, various 
kinds of canons, and two, three and four- 
part fugues. Course Q: A knowledge of 
Musical Form (or them.atic construction) 
is essential to the thorough understand- 
ing and appreciation of the works of the 
great composers, as embodied in their

School has been re;:ularly chartered, 
having obtained rights from' the Legisla- 
ture of .Massachusetts to give instruction

sent the following as their reasons for tlie 
establishment of this new college: 1. To 
afTor<l innni n as well as men an ojiportn- 
nity to obtain a complete and thorougij 
meJlical education, in a nu-dical schoid 
in Massachusetts, well er|ui]i])ed with 
competent instructors, and sn(>plied with 
all conveniences for practical instruction 
in every dcjiartinent of such education, 
and with suitable lecture, laboratory, ami 
dissecting rooms and aiiparatns. "J. To 
afford this education to iiotli iromrn and 
men for <i nuKlmitr jirirt—awv considera- 
blv Irss than that required for gra<luation 
by .s«.meof the old and well-established 
S«''Iiools in this state; and this result to 
accomitlish. without jilacing the standard 
of instruction below that of the older 
colletjes, but ever maintaining such 
stamlard, and the recinirements for 
graduation and its (h-grees equal, at least, 
to the lirst me<lical college in the country. 
It is hardly necessary to add th.it this 
college is b'ecoming firmly established, as 
a great educational institution f<»unded 
on sm-h a broad and laudable basis would 
naturally be, as its objects and i)lans 
-trongly' a^ijieal to the fair-minde<l and 
l>ublic-spirited men and women of Bos- 
ton, Massachusetts and the I'liited States, 
in fact, for its infhience is growing to bo 
national rather than tol>e locally circum- 
scribed. Complying with the act of in- 
• orporation, an" educational board was 
aiipointed, consisting of memlu'rs of the 
Massachusetts Medical Societv, the halls 
were opened for courses of stiuly (similar 
to those jtursued in other colleges^ ex- 
aminations, lectures, etc., and (liplomas 
have been conferred upon the graduates.

New England Conservatory 

of Music. (18(;7). The largest music 
school in the world. Located in Franklin 
sq. About 40,000 pupils have already 
taken lessons at this school. The building 
is of immense size, being 230 feet on NeAV- 
ton St., 210 feet on James St., and 7 stories 
high, having accommodations for 550 lady 
boarding-students. About 2,200 students 
are constantly in attendance, represent- 
ing 55 states, territories, provinces, and 
foreign countries. There are nearly 100 
instructors. The class system prevails, 
although private lessons are given. Terms 
for a year's instruction, etc.: Tuition, 
voice and piano, each per term, first grade, 
$10; second grade, 1^15: four terms, $100 
for both; rent of pianoforte per term,

ing a total expense for one year of $.385 
to $C00. Hon.Rufus S. Frost is president; 
Eben Tourjee, mus. doc, director. The 
Faculty includes some of the most emi- 
nent pi'ofessors in the world. At the 
head of the vocal department are Signor 
August Rotoli (the famous Italian teacher 
who came here from Rome, where he 
occupied one of the highest positions in 
that land of song) and "John O'Neill; the 



instrumental teachers include such artists 
of world-wide fame as Otto Bendix, Carl 
Faelton, Leandro Campanari, Timothie 
d'Adamowski, Alfred De Seve and many 
others. (Take any AYashington-st. horse-

2GG Washington St., cor. Water st. One 
of the most vseful branches of instruction 
as well as business, is that of Telegraphy. 
A practical knowledge of it is almost sure 
to secure a business opening, good opera- 
tors being always in demand. During 
the year 1885 there were more than one 
hundred millions of telegraphic messages 
sent. Many newspapers and business 
men now have 2)nvate wires, and require 
special operators. There are now over 
75,000 operators employed, the number 
having been 24,000 in 1877. Salaries range 
from $40 to $125 per month. The demand 
for operators is generally larger than the 
supply. The business, besides being 
profitable, is reliable, light, pleasant, 
steady, easily learned, fascinating and 
educating. In order to learn telegraphy 
easily and quickly one should be a fair 
penman, have a good ear, and in three 
months' time one can progress sufficiently 
to take charge of a minor office. At the 
New England Institute students are given 
regular circuit practice on all their wires, 
transmission of messages, etc., and are 
also taught the setting up of instruments, 
batteries, etc. Terms: 3 months, $25; 
evening, per term, three months, $15.

Parisian Academy of Music. 

(1885). Hotel Boylston, corner of Tre- 
mont and Boylston sts. The Directors 
of this celebrated music school— Prof. 
Albert Pegou and Mme. Pegou— are from 
the Paris Conservatoire, the former hav- 
ing held various prominent positions in 
Paris as President and Conductor of the 
Schools' Philharmonic Society; violin 
leader of the Haydn Quartet; baritone 
soloist of the Boieldieu Choral Society, 
etc., while the latter also evidenced a 
great degree of versatility, having been 
piano-soloist of Sivori's and Erard's 
Concerts, and of Pasdeloup's Symphonic 
Concerts; assistant professor of the 
Bourgault-Ducoudray Choral Society, 
etc. The courses of instruction at the 
Parisian Academy of Music are as fol- 
lows: Vocal music— French, Italian, and 
English singing, solfeggio. Instrumental 
music— pianoforte, violin, organ, har- 
mony and composition. There are also 
courses for the study of oratorio and 
opera (soli and chorus); chamber music, 
(strings, pianoforte and strings, two 
pianofortes — four and eight hands — 
organ); study of opera dramatic action. 
Tuition can be given in English, French, 
ItaHan or Spanish, by which pupils are 
enabled to perfect themselves in language 
as well as in music. This is an unique 
feature in musical instruction, and one 
that has found great favor with many 
students. Another specialty which has 
largely commended itself to pupils, is to 
be found in the niusicalcs given fre- 
quently, when viusical analysis, ex- 
planation of the artistic touch, use of 
the pedals, etc., are given in the most 
interesting manner. In fact, the study 
of vocal or instrumental music at the 
Parisian Academy is not a dry, laborious 
process, but a fresh, vigoroia's, enjoyable 
series of exercises. There is a refined 
musical atmosphere pervading the entire 
system of study here that inspires and 
stimulates the most apathetic pupil. 
Now that this Academy is becoming 
more generally known, through the suc- 
cess of its pupils, young persons are 
coming to avail themselves of its bene- 
fits from all sections of the United States 
and Canada. We do not know of any 
other music school in this country that 
is conducted on the system of the f amovis 
Paris Conservatoire,' and by Professors 
from that institution. Tuition: Ele- 
mentary classes, per quarter, $15; su- 
perior classes, per month, $8; courses, 
per month, $4; private lessons, singing, 



10 half-hour lessons, $22.50; pianoforte, 
$22.50. (The Academy is most centrally 
and pleasantly located, all Tremont St., 
Back Bay and Railway station street-c^rs 
passing near the Hotel Boylston). ^^ 

Perkins Institution and Mas- 
sachusetts School for the 
Blind. (1829). 553 East Broadway, 
South Boston. The early organizers and 
l)romoters of this School, (the fame of 
which has extended throughout Europe, 
it having been the first institution in the 
world to establish courses of systematic 
instruction for the blind) were Dr. Sam'l 
G. Howe and Dr. John D. Fisher, the 
latter of whom suggested the founding 
of such a school. Among the liberal 
donors of the school have been Col. 
Thomas W. Perkins and others. The 
most noted pupil of this Institute is 
Laura Bridgman, blind, deaf and, dmnb, 
whose instruction by Dr. Howe is a living 
witness of his triumph as an instructor. 
Her case is celebrated as the most mar- 
vellous result of the system of this school, 
in every quarter of the globe. Several 
Institutions in Europe have already been 
founded upon the model so successfully 
established here. Amon^ the branches 
taught are music— for which it is famous 
— (see Perkins Musical Institute) piano- 
forte-tuning, chair-seating, upholstery, 
etc. It is the idea of niany that this 
school is a charitable one merely; on the 
contrary, it is an educational and indus- 
trial institution principally. Terms, $300 
a year. (A few indigent applicants are 
permitted to enjoy the privileges of in- 
struction at this school, if residents of 
the State, upon application to the Gov- 
ernor). Mr. Michael Anagos is Director 
of the school. (Take any line of South 
Boston horse-cars, from Scollay sq., 
Brattle St., or Park sq). (See Kindergar- 
ten for tlie Blind). 

Perkins Musical Institute. 

(1829). 553 East Broadway, South Boston. 
Mr. Michael Anagos, Director. Ustab- 
lished solely for the education of the 
Ijlind, in music, etc. (See Perkins Insti- 
tution and Massachusetts School for the 
Blind). This is the oldest Music School 
in Boston, and, it is believed, in this 
country. Some of the pupils have here 
acquired a knowledge of music and of 
pianoforte-tuning, etc., which has ena- 
t)led them to obtain an independent 
livelihood in various parts of the country, 
as vocalists, pianoforte soloists and ac- 
companists, vocal and instrumental 
teachers, band and orchestra performers 
and teachers, pianoforte tuners, etc. The 
city of Boston has arranged to have all 
the pianofortes in the various public 
schools tuned and kept in order by the 
pupils of this school, and the result has 
been extremely successful in every re- 
spect. Pupils are taught by means of 
raised letters, a system invented by Dr. 
Howe.

. Rudersdorff School of Sing- 
ing. jMiss Jeannette A'an Buren, who 
teaches the celebrated Rudersdorff School 
of Singing, was one of the principal 
pupils of Mme. Erminia RudersdoxiT,who 
came to Boston from London, and for a 
number of years, until her death, held 
the foremost position among the music 
teachers of America. j\Iiss Van Buren 
thoroughly acquired the excellent 
method, and has met with the greatest 
success in teaching it. Mme. Rudersdorff 
herself acknowledged the ability of Miss 
A^an Buren to impart the system, over 
her own signature, and it was a deserved 
testimonial. Pupils from various sections 
of the country are studying with Miss 
Van Buren, at Hotel Thorndike, Boylston 
and Church streets. Miss Van Buren is 
a vocalist of eminence, and her services 
are in requisition at some of the l)est 
concerts given in Boston and vicinity. 
In her singing she demonstrates the 
principles of the vocal art as illustrated 
by Mme. Rudersdorff, of which she is so 
brilliant an exponent, and which she 
succeeds in imparting with so much ease, 
and with such remarkable artistic re- 
sults.

vi<linj; for the establishment of a school 
for tree-cultivation, to be under the in- 
struction of able i>rofessorsand teachers, 
in order that the most successful imirti- 
rnl results may be obtained. It was the 
<lesire of the 'testator that this school 
should be established on the ^jrounds of 
the lUissey Institute (See /lussri/ Institiijc) 
in the Ja'maica IMain District, which is 
one of the most beautiful triu'ts in New . 
Enpland. Of the <iri«rinal estate of the 
IJussey Institute grounds of 3»;o acres, 
1.37 Im've been devoted to the ]iur]ioses of 
the Arboretum. It w:is Mr. Arnold's 
desire that every variety of tree, bush, 
shrub and herbaceous plant which trrows 
in the oi»en air should have a s])ecimen 
lure, and such will eventually be found 
tirowintr within these naturally beautiful 
trrounds. The professorshiji of tree-ciil-

soon bec'ame widely known, ;md in con- 
sequence j>upils made application for the

tion to be obtained here. The scientific 
study of arboriculture is one that is 
highly attractive to many, and that this 
department of Harvard University is a 
credit to that famous and foremost edu- 
cational institution of America need 
scarcely be said. Students of the Arnold 
School of Arboriculture, not candidates 
for a degree, may join at all times with- 
out examination, and pursue such courses 
as may be selected. Candidates for the 
degrees of Bachelor of Agricultural (or 
Horticultural) Science are required to 
take a preliminary course of one year in 
the Lawrence Scientific School, (Cam- 
bridge), or possess equivalent knowledge. 
Fees: for academic year, $150; half-year, 
$75; for any single course, $40 a year. 

School of Architecture, in- 
stitute of Technology. 191 Boylston st. A 
most thorough and comprehensive school 
of architecture, indeed the leading 
school of the kind in the country, has 
been for some twenty years maintained by 
this renowned Institute. It is under the 
skilful direction of Prof. William R.Ware, 
the course of instruction being modelled, 
as fully as is practicable, upon that of 
the Ecole des Beaux Arts, of Paris. This 
school has in some measure been instru- 
mental in giving Boston pre-eminence in 
the architecture of its buildings. The 
influence of this correct teaching must 
sooner or later affect the architectural 
taste of the countrj-, as pupils now come 
from various sections to receive the 
benefits of the instruction given here. 

School of Art Embroidery.

corner of Winter st. Branches taught:

try, Still Life, Pottery Decorating. Mrs. 
Martin's ability and success in imparting 
instruction are well known throughout 
Boston and New England, her pupils 
coming from all sections of the Eastern 
States. They are her best advertisements, 
for the progress made by them is a strong 
recommendation to others with artistic 
taste to avail themselves of her tuition. 
Lessons are given in classes or privately, 
as desired. Terms: In classes, $2 a les- 
son; a monthly course of 24 lessons, $40;

Sears School for Young 
Ladies. (ISSS). 140 Alarlborough st. 
An extremely successful school of high 
rank. Branches taught: French, Ger- 
man, Latin, mathematics, natural sci- 
ences, English history and drawing. 
English composition is an especial feature. 
Ladies of extended experience in teach- 
ing are included in the Faculty of this 
school, which is becoming so well known 
among the cultivated families of I^Jew 
England, New York, the South and AVest. 
The natural sciences are in charge of an 
instructor who has made them a special 
study. Native teachers of French and 
German are engaged, in order that the ■ 
idioms of each language may be made 
perfectly clear to the student. Mathe- 
matics form a strong feature of the curri- 
culum, as a preliminary to the course in 
natural science. Botany, zoology and 
physics receive particular attention. The 
History of Modern Europe and of America 
is taught by Mr. E. H. Sears— the eminent 
Principal of the school — who makes this 
study especially interesting to those who 
intend to travel in foreign lands or in our 
own country. Drawing is taught by the 
most competent instructors. Pupils 
must not be under fourteen years of ago. 
Special students are received. Tuition: 
$250; special students, $50 a year for each 
study. The Sears School is located in the 
most aristocratic quarter of the city.

GLO-BOS 



Globe Theatre. 596 Washington 
Street, between Hayward Place and Es- 
sex Street. Opened Dec. 3, 1874 (replac- 
ing the old Globe — originally Selwyn's 
Theatre, opened Oct. 29, 1867. See Event- 
ful Play-bills). Selwyn's Theatre was 
built by Arthur Cheney and Dexter H. 
Follett. John H. Selwyn was manager. 
Arthur Cheney assumed the sole pro- 
prietorship in 18G9. Thomas Barry be- 
came stage manager under Selwyn, 18C9- 
70. The name of the theatre Avas changed 
with the opening of the season of 1870-71 
(Sept. 12), Charles Fechtor being sole 
manager with the beginning of that sea- 
son until Jan. 16, 1871, when William R. 
Floyd became manager, a position he 
filled until the destruction of the theatre 
by fire. May 30, 1873. Rebuilt and re- 
opened Dec. 3, 1874, D. W. Waller be- 
coming manager. Se])t. 13, 1875, the 
season opened with Mr. Floyd again 
manager. He continued to hold that 
position until the close of the season of 
1876-77. John Stetson became lessee and 
manager, Sept. 3, 1877, and has since con- 
trolled the theatre, presenting some of 
the strongest combinations and most re- 
nowned stars in the dramatic firmament, 
including Sarah Bernhardt, Adelaide 
Neilson, JNIary Anderson, Tommaso Sal- 
vini, Henry Irving, Patti, and other ar- 
tists of the first magnitude. Mr. Stetson 
has expended vast sums of money in 
decorating and embellisliing this elegant 
theatre until it is one of the most sump- 
tuous playhouses in the world. Three 
exits are provided — on Wasliingtcm and 
Essex Streets and Hayward Place. The 
theatre seats 2,200. The prices for the 
best seats are ordinarily $;1.00, with bal- 
cony seats at 75 and 50 cents; admission 
tickets to lower floof being sold for fifty 
cents. (During special engagements of 
expensive comi)inations or grand opera 
the prices are increased from fifty to one 
hundred per cent.) One of the principal 
features of the front of the establish- 
ment is the smoking-room, a spacious, 
well-ventilated apartment which is very 
largely resorted to before the perform- 
ance begins, as well as between the acts. 
Under the present enteri)rising manage- 
ment the Globe has become one of the 
most successful theatres in the United 
States. John Stetson, Manager; Frank 
J. Pilling, business manager; G. S. Well- 
man, secretary; Martin Drake, treasurer; 
S. J. Hamilburg, ticket agent; J. P. 
Cooke, stage manager; H. L. Rcid, scenic 
artist; John Mullaly, musical director; 
C. A. Henry, properties; W. J. Moorhead, 
gas-engineer; F. L. Baker, M. Cutter, 
door-keepers; E. C. Battey, chief usher. 
Opens at 8. 

Boston Museum. 28 Tremont 
Street, between School and Court Streets. 
Opened by the proprietors of the old 
Boston Museum (on the corner of Tre- 
mont and Bromfield Streets, Nov. 2, 1846. 



The original Museum was opened June 
14, 1841). During the first two seasons, 
1841-2-3, the bill consisted of musical 

Sieces. The first regularly organized 
ramatic company was engaged for the 
season of 1843-4, beginning Monday, Sep- 
tember 4, the bill comprising " The Hypo' 
chondriac," dancing and "Nature and 
Philosophy." One of the artists in this 
bill, Mrs. Jane Germon, is still on the 
stage. (For bill of opening of first season 
at the present Museum see Eventful 
Playhilla). W. H. Smith was the first 
stage-manager, remaining in that posi- 
tion for sixteen years; in 1859, E. F. 
Keach assumed those duties. R. M. 
Field became sole manager of the theatre 
J;in. 31, 1SG4, and still controls its affairs. 
We have not the space to give the names 
of those of the foremost artists of the 
woild who have graced this stage, but 
will enumerate a few, as follows, with 
the date of their first appearances: John 
Brougham (1843); Junius Brutus Booth, 
sr. (1849), his son, Edwin, making his first 
a]>pearauce on anv stage during this en- 
gagement (Sept. 10, 1849); Julia Bennett 
(Harrow); Agnes Robertson (Mrs. Bouci- 
cault) (1853): Dion Boucicault (Feb. 4, 
1854); C. ^V. Couldock (1854); E. L. Daven- 
port (1854); Mrs. D. P. Bowers (1857); Mrs. 
John Drew(18(52); Carlotta Leclercq(1874); 
John McCullough (1S76); Lawrence Bar- 
rett' forme rlv leading-man at this theatre); 
(1877); Adelaide Phillipps (1843); William 
Warren (1847). The lioston Museum is 
noted for its production of new plays 
from foreign authors for the first time on 
the American stage, as well as for its 
sumptuous revivals of the standard old 
and modern English comedies. This 
theatre has had uninterrupted success 
for upwards of fifty years, a condition of 
affairs that cannot be paralleled by the 
history of any other place of amusement 
in the United States, if in the world. 
The wise policy of the house appears to 
be grounded upon two important factors, 
namely : Attractions of merit and a mod- 
erate scale of prices. The simple fact 
that excellent seats — some of the best in 
the theatre — can be secured for fifty 
cents, draws throngs of family parties, 
of moderate means, Avho probaljly attend 
the performances here much oftener than 
they visit any other theatre, if, indeed, 
they go elsewhere at all; and the placing 
of the admission fee at thirty-five cents 
attracts crowds of young men about 
town who are not made s"o welcome at 
any other theatre. The Museum is fitted 
up elegantly and tastefully; the stage is 
finely equipped; and there is an air of com 
fort and cosiness, combined with luxury, 
that makes a performance here extremely 
enjoyable. This theatre is one of the 
very few in the country that adheres to 
the stock company plan, that having 
been the policy of the house since it's 
opening, with occasional engagements of 
stars supported by the stock company. 
It may be interesting to give the dates

(after being reconstru'-ted from Millerite

son, W. L. Ayling, Thomas Ford and 
Leonard Braylev. Destroyed by fire Feb. 
25, 1846. Rebuilt and reopened (Oct. 25, 
1846) by James H. Hackett & Co. (It was 
during this season that William AVarren 
made his first appearance on the Boston

variety theatre by Isaac B. Rich and 
Joseph Trowbridge, Josh Hart afterward 
joining the firm. Jan. 1, 1870, John Stet- 
son aiid Isaac B. Rich became associate 
managers, continuing for nearly seven 
years. During the next two seasons, 
1876-77-78, Mr. Stetson was sole manager. 
During season of 1878-79, Benj. F. Tryon 
and Fred. Stinson were managers; 1879- 
8 ), Josh Hart and B. F. Tyron. On Aug. 
23, 1880, Isaac B. Rich associated himself 
with William Harris, the former with- 
drawing to assume the management of 
the HoUis Street Theatre at the opening 
of the season of 1885-86. Mr. Harris still 
continues to direct the successful for- 
tunes of the Howard, playing dramatic 
as well as variety combinations. The 
theatre seats 1,500. Seats are $1.00, 75, 50, 
35, 25 cents. Admission, 50 cents. Wil-

Windsor Theatre. 1132 Wash- 
ington street, comer of East Dover 
Street. Opened (as the Novelty Theatre) 
Dec. 15, 1879, with " Home," played by the 
stock company; F. H. Butler, Manager. 
(See Eventful Play bills). This theatre 
has for several years past been very suc- 
cessfully managed, combinations of a 
fair degree of merit having been pre- 
sented in most cases, and such attractions 
as "Esmeralda," "The Shaughraun," 
"Pavements of Paris," etc., with stars 
including Katherine Rogers, Maud Gran- 
ger and other favorites, proving powerful 
magnets, at low prices of admission. 
Originally called Williams Hall, it was 
reconstructed into the Novelty Theatre 
Mr. Butler was followed by R. M. Hooley, 
who assumed the management at the 
opening of the season of 1880-1' calling it 
Hooley's Theatre. Charles H. Thayer was 
the next manager, restoring the name of 
the Novelty Theatre. A tine presentation 
of " Billee Taylor" signalized his manage- 
ment, which was very successful. The 
season of 1881-2 had John A. Stevens 
as lessee, and D. B. Hopkins as man- 
ager. George E. Lothrop leased the 
theatre Oct 16, 1882, and has since con- 
tinued its successful manager. Prices 
range from 50 to 10 cents. George E. 
Lothrop, lessee and manager. Executive 
staff: J. W.Randolph, business manager; 
AVm. McAvoy, stage manager; Harry 
McCluskey, treasurer; J. C. Wiley, ma- 
chinist; Ring & Hagen, properties; T. .C. 
Gray, musical director; C. F. Harniond, 
advertiser; H. J. Partridge, officer. 
Opens at 8. 



Theatre Comique. 1170 Wash- 
ington street. Managers Hyde & Beh- 
nian, early in 1886, arranged to construct 
a Theatre on the site of the Columbia 
Rink, at 1170 Washington Street, to be 
devoted to combinations, musical pro- 
ductions, etc., at reasonable prices of 
admission. The great success of the 
Windsor Theatre in playing combinations 
of a fair degree of merit, undoubtedly 
attracted the attention of these enter- 
prising managers to the desirability of 
this populous and accessible locality as an 
amusement centre. It will probably not 
be many years before several other p'laces 
of amusement will be opened in this Imsy 
section of the city. AYith the South End, 
South Boston, Roxbury, Dorchester, 
Brookline, Milton, Quincy, (and when the 
AYest Chester Park Bridge is completed, 
Cambridge, Allston, Arlington, etc.), to 
draw from, to say nothing of the popula- 
tion of the city northward and eastward, 
and the large suburbs in those directions, 
this quarter of the city will become more 
and more central every year, especially 
as the means of rapid transit are im- 
proved. There are now seventeen lines 
of street-cars which pass through this 
portion of AVashington Street.

BACK BAY DIRECTORY, 



AROIT the ypar IR'".:, tho nilinj;-iii ..f 
the so-callort Back Hay, lyiiij; betwctMi 
Charlos xt., Charh-s Ilivi-r, Tarkor st. and 
the Itoston ami rrovidence Railway, was 
befrun in pxxl ••arnrst, and to-day that 
enormous trrritory of nia«le-hin«l" is al- 
most entirely covered. (iraud, wide 
streets have been laitlout, — notablv Com- 
monwealth avenu«>, two hundred fert in 
width, with a park runninj; its entire 
length. — and hundreds of the most ma^j- 
niticent dwflliuj^s have bi'«'u ereetfd 
thereon by opulent mendiants of Hoston. 
rraetically, a new city ha.s risen, almost 
ma^rically," and the Back Bay (or new 
West Kii«i, as it is now <-ommonly iK'inj; 
termed) rivals in majrnitii^ence the most 
8umi)tuous ouarters of the cities of tho 
Old World. Take, for example, the ^;roup 
of buildint;s on Copley Sipiare, at tho 
junction of Huntington av. with Jioyls- 
ton St., inehuiin;c the .Mu.seum of Fine 
Arts, Trinity Church, the new South 
Church, andOther buiidinjcs; where can 
such a condiination of architectural 
prandeur be 8urpass»'d ? Tlie i»rivato 
residences of Oliver Ames, at the c<)r- 
ner of (N>mmonwealth av. and West 
Chester I'ark st.; .Jolm F. Andrew, at tho 
corner of Commonwealth av. and Here- 
ford St., with its Tuih'ries balcony ; John 
P. Phillips, corner of .MarllMtroil^h ami 
Berkeley »ts.; Charles A. Whittii-r and 
F. L. llippinson, -TO and :rr4 Beacon st., 
are elegant structures. The Hotel Ven- 
dome,C«)mmonwealth av., corner of Dartr 
mouth St., is a tine building, and the 
numerous apartment houses are superb 
fltructures. The ac»-omi»anyin)^ <-ompleto 
list of the residents of this Ix-autiful 
quarter will be of value to strangers a.s 
well as eitiwns, and may j)rove of .service 
to future penealopists, bio^'raphers and 
historians. (This .section is reached by 
either line of Back Bay street cars — 
Vendome or Clarendon — from Scollay 
Square). 

Arlin^on Stx*eet. (From opposite 
95 Beacon >t. to oi>posite 113 Boylston St.).

Boylston Street. (From Wash'n to 
Back Bay Pax'k). Boylston st. is rapidly be- 
coming a business street; hotels, schools, 
and stores having already threatened the 
residences well towards Berkeley st. If 
but a few months' time has been suffi- 
cient to wholly change the character of 
this street from Park sq. to Church St., 
what may not be expected to take place 
during the next few years ? Business is 
fast working Back Bay-Avard, rather than 
South End-ward; Columbus av. is being 
rapidly converted into a street of manu- 
factories; and altogether it looks very 
much as if dwelling-houses were to be 
pushed farther back year by year. The 
once fashionable character of a portion 
of Boylston st. has almost departed, and 
many of its former residents have sought 
homes elsewhere. Hotels on this street 
are as follows: Berkeley (158), Boylston 
(26), Bristol (231), Brunswick (198), Cluny 
(233), Kensington (291), Pelham (34), Puri- 
tan (29), Thorndike (91), Vivian (283), Ver- 
celli Italian Restaurant (87). Schools : 
Berkeley, Boston School of Elocution, 
Chauncy Hall School, French's Commer- 
cial School, Institute of Technology, etc. 
As will be seen by the following list of 
residents, many of the houses are now 
occupied by physicians :

Hansom Cabs. (1884). The London 
Hansom is evidently destined to become 
eventually the most popular cab in Bos- 
ton, cwing to its manifest advantages 
over every other form of public vehicle. 
It has been steadily gaining in public 
favor for a number of years, and there 
are numbers of persons who will ride in 
no other public carriage, unless a Han- 
som cannot be procured. For business 
purposes, for making calls, for shopping 
and for pleasure rides, nothing can equal 
the Hansom. The passenger can enter 
and leave them easily, witliout crushing 
hat or clothing; one can have a full view 
of either side of the street, the driver 
being at the top of the Cab, in the rear; 
the cushions and linings of this carriage 
are always well aired, — (which is quite a 
consideration, as four-wheeled, close cabs 
are sometimes used for the conveyance of 
fever patients and others to the Hospital) 
— and as the Hansoms are well lighted at 
night by side lamps, there is scarcely any 
danger by collision or other accident. 
The Hansom is the only public carriage 
that may be said to have survived almost 
all the others that have been tried in 
London, in which city there are upwards 
of 20,000 in use. The Hansom has un- 
questionably come to Boston to stay. 

Hansom Cab Standings are at 

24 Hay ward Place, (from 582 Washington 
St.), at 32 North St., and at various other 
points. Telephone orders for Hansoms 
can be sent to 32 North St., or calls by 
messenger to 24 Hayward Place.

Omnibuses. Omnibuses wore 
never a iiojuilar iiassen^rer vehicle in Ros- 
ton, antt since 1S'>«> — when the horse cars 
were first introduced — the demand f<tr 
them has bein steadily on the decline. 
There is no doubt, however, that, before 
a threat many years, the horse car tracks 
on Washiufitoii and Tremont sts., betwe* n 
Cornhill and l)(»ver sts. will be taken u|«, 
and lunnibuses of the London and Paris 
l>att«'rns substituted. As the traflic con- 
tinues to increase on these busy tliorou^h- 
fares. year by year, blockades of horse 
cars will be m'ore and more freciuent. and 
as horse cars cannot turn out for other 
carriat^es, omnibuses, whiih very s«ltiom 
become blockade<l, owin<r to the facility 
with which they can be made to take 
short turns, will" naturally be juit in the 
jilace of the cars. Alon};"Cheai>side and 
tin* Strand, in London, two oi the most 
crowded thoroughfares in the world, om- 
nibuses run at a ^oo«l rate of speed, 
much fasti-r, in fact, than our horse cars, 
and blockades are almost unknown. 
From the to^i of these omnibuses one can 
jjet a better idea of the <ity than in any 
other way. Itoston will lu'ver know what 
nerfect street tran-it is until lines of omni- 
tmses are jtlaced in lu-r iirintipal streets. 
Horse cars may be used, as in foreifrn 
cities, for subu"rban service. Folh.winK 
are the lines of omnibuses now in operu- 
tion in the city:

Boston's First Telegraph 
Office, that of the Northern Telegraph 
Company, was opened in 1839, in Court 
S(iuare, corner of AVilliams ct., in the 
building now used by the Second Station

Telephone. It is interesting to note 
the fact that the telejihone now in general 
use almost everywhere, was first devel- 
oped as a transmitter of conversation by 



Prof. A. Graham Bell, of Boston Univer- 
sity, 12 Somerset st. He had a laboratory 
in Exeter pi., Chauncy st. On Feb. 13, 
1877, the first messages'^ever sent by tele- 
phone were received at the Exeter pi. 
Laboratory, in Boston, from Prof. Bell, 
who had gone to Salem, 16 miles out, for 
that express purpose. His dispatches 
Avere published Feb.'14(the next morning), 
the Boston Daily Globe of that date be- 
ing the first newspaper on record to pub- 
lish telephone messages. Prof. Dolbear, 
of Tufts College, College Hill, about this 
time invented Avhat is knoAvai as the Dol- 
bear Telephone. The first telephone estab- 
lished in Boston was the Bell, the for- 
mation of the American Bell Telephone 
Company rai)idly bringing the system 
into general use. «

Cemeteries. The cemeteries in and 
around Boston are noted for their natural 
and artistic features of beauty. Mount 
Auburn, Cambridge, was the first in the 
United States to be laid out as a " garden 
cemetery," is the most widely known 
burial-place, and is probably more largely 
visited by strangers from Europe and 
elsewhere, than any similar enclosure in 
this country. (See Afount Auburn).

BOSTON POST-OFFICE. 



Post-Office and Sub-Treas- 
ury Buildinsc* Situated on the 
square bouiulfcl by Post-Office Square, 
Milk, Devonshire and Water Streets. 
The principal entrance is from I'ost-Office 
Square. There are also entrances on 
Devonshire, Milk and Water Streets. 
The building, architecturally, is grand 
and imposing, and is of the Renaissance 
style, built of granite. Up to the con- 
struction of this building the Post-Office 
in Boston has been located in quarters 
leased by the United States Government 
for that purpose. During the siege of 
Boston, 1770, the Post-Office was re- 
moved to Cambridge, having previously 
been located on Washington Street, near 
what is now Cornhill. It has at dilferent 
periods been located on State Street; in 
the Old State House ; in Summer Street 
(corner of Chauncv Street); in Faneuil 
Hall and in the Old South Church. The 
present l)uilding was largely che means 
of arresting the progress of the Great 
Fire of 1872, not, however, until the 
flames had damaged the building to the 
extent of 5*175,000. Traces of the fire are 
yet to be seen in the stone, although the

Postal Rates and Conditions. 

Letters, and all other written matter, 
whether sealed or unsealed, and all other 
matter sealed, nailed, sewed, tied, or 
fastened in any manner, so that it cannot 
be easily examined, two cents per ounce 
or fraction thereof. All manuscript 
matter designed for publication, manu- 
script music, and manuscript maps, un- 
less accompanied by proof-sheets or 
corrected copies thereof, and also draw- 
ings, plans, and designs, are first-class 
matter. AVhen only a single copy of a 
reproduction by any other process than 
ordinary t\iie, plate, and lithographic 
printing is offered for mailing, and it does 
not appear from internal evidence that it 
is being sent in identical terms to several 
persons, it is sub.iect to letter rates of 
postage. All sealed packages, except 
packages of seeds in ^e^Xed transparent 
envelopes; all packages seved up except 
in the case of seeds, where the absence 
of any other matter can be ascertained 
by feeling; and all packages in any vay 
so closed ar/ainst inspection that their 
contents cannot be fully ascertained 
without breaking the seal, or without 
undue delay in openins: the same, are 
subject to first-class postage. The use of 
the hand stamp for printing personal 
communications, as the stamping of a 
receipt or credit on a bill or account, 
constitutes the matter first-class. The 
use of a printed signature to partly 
written and partly printed papers does 
not alter their character as first-class 
matter. Deeds, mortecages, promissory 
notes, insurance policies, drafts, and 



188 



POS-INT 



checks, cancelled or uncancelled, and all 
matter of the same general character 
wholly or partially in writing, are sub- 
ject to first-class rates of postage. Diaries 
and hank hooks with entries in writing, 
and autograph albums filled in Avith 
written signatures or miscellaneous writ- 
ing, are ftrst-class matter. Written 
visiting cards, envelopes, and tags with 
written addresses thereon, are first-class 
matter. Matter produced by the type- 
Avriter or caligraph and similar processes 
is first-class matter and subject to letter 
rates of postage. 

Postal Cards. The object of the 
postal card is to facilitate correspondence 
and provide for the transmission through 
the mails, at a reduced rate of postage, 
of short communications, either printed 
or written in pencil or ink. They may, 
therefore, be used for orders, invitations, 
notices, receipts, acknowledgements, 
price-lists, and other requirements of 
business and social life: and the matter 
desired to be conveyed may be either in 
writing or in print, or partially in both. 
In using postal cards, care should be 
taken not to paste, gum (except an ad- 
dress tag or label), or attach anything to 
them, or to write anything on the address 
side other than the address. They are 
unmailable as postal cards when these 
sugsrestions are disregarded, but are 
mailable as letters when additional 
stamps are affixed thereto to prepay letter 
postage, viz., one cent for a single rate, 
and two cents for each additional rate. 
Postal cards are issued exclusively by the 
rost-Office Department, and may be used 
either for printed or written, or partly 
printed and partly written, communica- 
tions. " Postal cards " issued by private 
parties are subject to letter rates of post- 
age when they contain any written matter 
whatever in addition to the date and 
name of the addressed and of the sender, 
and the correction of mere typographical 
errors therein. In getting up such cards, 
care should be taken not to imitate the 
cards issued by the Post-Office Depart- 
ment, or have the words "Postal Card" 
printed thereon, or they may render 
themselves liable to prosecution. When 
any one is annoyed or expects to be 
annoyed by postal cards sent from any 
l)articular plncc or from any known per- 
son, he mav direct the postmaster at the 
point named to destroy all postal cards 
addressed to him, or cards from any 
person named so addressed, and so far as 
the duties of the post-office permit suffi- 
cient examination, the postmaster should 
complv with the request. The same re- 
quest may he made of the receiving post- 
master. The direction to the postmaster 
should be in writing and should be 
placed on the files of his office. 

Ne-wspaper Rates. The postage 
on newspapers is at the rate of one cent 
for each four ounces or fraction thereof. 



Foreign Rates. The rates for the 
countries and i)lat;es which belong to the 
I'ostal Union, are as follows : Prepayment 
optional, except for registered articles, 
but on printed matter and samples post- 
age must be at least partially prepaid. 
Letters —5 cents per 15 grammes, a 
weight very slightly over one half ounce. 
Post cards — 2 cents each. Printed Mat- 
ter. — 1 cent for each two ounces or frac- 
tion. Limit of weight, 4 lbs. 6 oz. Com- 
mercial Papers (Insurance Documents, 
Way Bills, Invoices, Papers of Legal 
Procedure, Manuscripts of works, &c.) — 
The same as for printed matter, but the 
lowest charge is 5 cents.

Postal Notes. All postmasters at 
money-order offices are authorized to 
issue postal notes for sums less than live 
dollars, payable to bearer at any time 
within three months from the last day of 
the month of issue. The fee for a postal 
note is three cents. 

Suggestions. Do not address 
letters " B. H. District." If Boston 
Highlands is intended use " Roxbury 
District; " if Bunker Hill is the desired 



destination use " Charlestown District." 
Do not place newspapers on the top of 
the street boxes. The collectors are not 
required to carry them to the Central 
Office, the boxes being intended for the 
reception of letter's o)iIy. Some of the 
papers and packages left in this careless 
way are stolen by tramps, who are 
tempted by the stamps, while others 
have the stamps washed off and the en- 
closures ruined by sudden rains, or are 
blown away. 



STATUES AND MONUMENTS- 



Adams Bust. Doric Hall, State 
House, Beacon Street. A marble bust of 
Samuel Adams. 

Adams Statiie. (I88O). Adams 
Square, at the intersection of "Washing- 
ton Street, Cornhill and Brattle Street. 
A bronze statue of Samuel Adams, of 
Revolutionary fame, by Miss Anne 
Whitney. Tlie inscriptions on the pedes- 
tal—of granite— are as follows: 

SAlVrUEL ADAMS 

— 1722 — 18U3 — 
A Patriot. 

He Organized 
The Revolution 
and signed the 
Declaration of 

Independence. 



Governor 
A True Leader 
of the People. 



Erected A. D. 1880. 

From a Fund bequeathed 

To the City by 

Jonathan Phillips. 



A Statesman 
Incorruptible and Fearless. 



This Statue cost $6,856, and was un- 
veiled July 5, 1880. 

Adams Statue. Chapel, Mount 
Auburn, Cambridge. A statue of John 
Adams, second President of the United 
States. 

Andrew Statue. (I87l). Doric 
Hall, State House, Beacon Street. A fine 
marble statue of John Albion Andrew, 
the War Governor of Massachusetts. 
Thomas Ball was the sculptor, and he 
succeeded in reproducing the familiar 



features of Andrew with the utmost 
fidelitv to nature. It cost $10,000. It 
was placed here Feb. 14, 1871. In writing 
of " Our Portrait Statues," George B. 
Woods said: "It is not only a faithful 
portraiture — always Mr. Ball's strong 
point— but there is something better than 
literal likeness about it— an incorporation 
into the marble of the noble nature of the 
man, which is the highest achievement 
of Art. Altogether the statue moves the 
spectator to hearty liking; and we feel 
sure that it will grow into the popular 
heart as it stands close by where the 
Governor toiled and thought through five 
exhausting years surrounded by the 
tattered flags of the thousands of Massa- 
chusetts boys, who, like him, gave their 
utmost effort for nationality and liberty, 
and many of whom, like him, sealed the 
sacrifice with death." 

Aristides Statue. (1849). Louisburg 
Square, between Pinckney and Mount 
Vernon Streets. An Italian marble 
statue of Aristides " the Just," presented 
by the late Joseph lasigi to the city. 
Placed here December, 1849. 

Army and Navy Monument. 

(1877). Monument (or Flagstaff) Hill, 
Boston Common. The monument is of 
granite, in the form of a Doric column, 
surmounted by a bronze emblematic 
statue of the Genius of America; at the 
base are four statues representing re- 
spectivelv the Soldier, the Sailor, History 
and Peace. Bas-reliefs in bronze are 
placed between these statues, represent- 
ing the Departure of the Regiment, a 
Naval Action, the Sanitary Commission 
and the Return from the War and Sur- 
render of the Battle-Flags to the Gov- 
ernor at the State House. Portraits of 
John Albion Andrew, Wendell Phillips, 
Phillips Brooks, D. D., A. H. Vinton, 
D. D., Archbishop Williams, Henry W. 



100 



BAL-BRE 



Longfellow and others are to be seen in 
the bas-relief of the Departure of the 
Regiment, standing upon the steps of 
the State House, while with the troops 
are Generals Charles Russell Lowell and 
Renjamin F. Rutler, Colonels Cass and 
Shaw. The Sanitary Commission bas- 
relief has portraits of Alexander H.Rice, 
James Russell Lowell, Marshall P. Wilder, 
Ezra 11. (Jannett, 1). D., (ieorge Ticknor, 
Rev. Edward Everett Hale and others. 
In the Return from the AVar gnmp is 
rcprc^sented a regiment halting in front 
of the State House, with (Jenerals 
Devens, Bartlett, Banks and Underwood 
mounted. Upon the steps of the State 
House are represented Governor Andrew, 
Charles Sumner, Henry Wilson and 
others. The monument is 70 feet high. 
It was the work of Martin Milmore. It 
cost $75,000. It was dedicated Sept. 17, 
1877, the President of the United States 
and nearly all of his cabinet being 
present at the ceremf)nies. The ora- 
tion was pronounced by General 
Charles Devens. There was a grand pro- 
cession, with upwards of 30,000 persons — 
military and civic bodies — in line. The 
inscription on the monument — written 
by Charles W. Eliot, President of Har- 
vard University — is as follows: 

To The 

Men of Boston 

Who Died 

For their Country 

On Land and Sea 

In the War which 

Kept the Union whole 

Destroyed Slavery, 

And Maintained 

The Constitution, 

The Grateful City 

Has Built this Monument 

That their Example 

May Speak to . 
Coming Generations. 

It may be interesting if not instructive 
to record here the opinion of Wendell 
Phillips on this work: "No Ball or 
Greenough hand ever lifted that proud 
column Avhich crowns Frogpond Hill 
(Boston Common); the drapery of its 
tigur(!S so tlowing and graceful, that, 
without hiding, it adorns them; costumes 
and hgures neither violent nor clumsy, 
but easy, lifelike, natural and suggestive, 
each telling its own story; no sense of 
weariness in gazing at them; no drawback 
on your satisfaction. It has only one 
peer, that living figure at Concord, so 
full of life and movement that one fearS 
\w. shall not see it again if he passes that 
way the next week. This otherwise per- 
fect column (the Army and Navy Monu- 
ment) has one defect, the one I have 
noticed in every city and toAvn monument 
raised since the war. For anything these 
marble records tell, the war might have 
been, like that of 1812, for 'free trade and 
sailors' rights,' or for a northeastern 



boundary. You search in vain through 
them all for the broken chain or the 
negro soldier. Milmore has done better 
than his fellows; for he gives us, in one 
bas-relief, the stern and earnest face of 
J. B. Smith, a suggestion welcome and 
honorable. He should have done more. 
Perhaps sometime it can be mended, and 
a broken chain and negro form tell what 
really saved the Union." 



Ballou Statue. Mount Auburn, 
Cambri(li;(>. A tine statue of Rev. Hosea 
Ballou. ' By Edward A. Brackett, the 
well-known sculptor. 

Beethoven Statue. Boston Mu- 
sic Hall. The majestic statue of Ludwig 
Von Beethoven, in bronze, on the stage 
of Music Hall, was the work of Thomas 
Crawford, an American sculptor, so 
grateful to the citizens of Boston who 
gave him a commission for an ideal 
statue (that of Orpheus, now at the Bos- 
ton Museum of Fine Arts), that when 
Charles C. Perkins gave him an order for 
a bronze statue of Beethoven, Crawford 
accepted the commission but declined to 
accei)t any payment whatever for his 
work. Mr. Perkins therefore paid the 
expense of casting, founding and ship- 
ment to Boston, aiid had it placed in its 
present position. It is a grand statue; in 
fact, there are few works by American 
sculptors that equal it. It is greatly ad- 
mired by all who behold it. 

Boy and the Eagle. Vestibule 
of Boston Athenaeum, lOB Beacon Street. 
Bronze. By Richard S. Greenough. 

Bowditch Statue. (1847). Mount 

Auburn, Cambridge. One of the most 
noted statues in Boston or vicinity is this 
bronze statue of Nathaniel Bowditch, 
representing the famous scientist seated, 
with globe and quadrant at his feet, 
holding a book. It was designed by Ball 
Hughes, and was cast in Boston. It at- 
tracts great attention from visitors to 
Boston, who pronounce it a fine work of 
art. 

Bowditch Statue. Vestibule of 
Boston Athenneum, lOB Beacon Street. 
Statue of Nathaniel Bowditch, the cele- 
brated writer on navigation. (Cast.) 

Bre-wer Fountain. (1868). A 
])eautiful bronze fountain placed on the 
Common, near Park Street, in 1808. It 
was the gift of the late Gardner Brewer. 
At the base are figures of Neptune, Am- 
phitrite, Acis and G.'datea. Li^nard, the 
eminent French artist, made the design, 
which received a gold medal at the Paris 
Exposition of 1855.

Brighton Soldiers' Monu- 
ment. (1866). Evergreen Cemetery, 
Brighton District. Dedicated July 26, 
1866. It is of granite, and is 30 feet high. 
The cost was ,'j<5,000. Rev. F. A. Whitney 
delivered the dedicatory oration. 

Bunker Hill Monument. (1843). 
This obelisk of granite, so conspicuous a 
land mark for many miles around Boston, 
was erected upon Bunker Hill, in the 
Charlestown District, to commemorate 
the tirst great battle of the American 
Revolution, which was foixght here, June 
17, 1775, when 4,000 British troops and 
3,000 Ameiieans (commanded by Prescott, 
Futnam and AVarien), for four or five 
hours hotly contested the possession of 
the breastM orks erected by the American 
troops during the previous night. The 
monument is 220 feet high. The corner- 
stone was laid by Lafayette. Fairs, sub- 
scriptions and other means were applied 
toward raising funds for its completion, 
Fanny Ellsler, the celebrated dancer, 
contributing liberally. On June 17, lb43, 
Daniel Webster (who had made the ad- 
dress at the laying of the corner-stone by 
Lafayette), delivered the dedicatory ora- 
tion, in the presence of John Tyler, the 
President of the United States, and his 
entire cabinet. (Webster was then Sec- 
retary of State). A historical writer says 
rf the impressive event: "Webster was 
himself that day, and his apostrophe to 
the gigantic sliaft was as grand and 
noble as the subject was lofty and sub- 
lime. Waving his hand toward the 
towering structure he said: ^The ijoicer- 
ful speaker stands motionless before vs I ' 
He was himself deeply moved. The sight 
of such an innuense sea of upturned 
faces— he had never before addressed 
such a multitude— he afterwards spoke 
of as awful and oppressive. The ap- 
plause from a hundred thousand throats 
surged in great waves around the orator, 
completing, in his mind, the parallel of 
Old Ocean." (To reach Bunker Hill take 
Charlestown street-cars from Cornhill, 
Scollay Square). 

Ceres Statue. (1865). Surmount- 
ing Horticultural Hall, at 100 Tremont 
Street, is a fine granite statue, represent- 
ing Ceres, from the hand of the late 
Martin Milmore. The strength and free- 
dom of the figure are supremely artistic. 

Charlestown Soldiers and 
Sailors' Monument. (1872). Win- 
throp Square, Charlestown District. 
Martin Milmore was the designer. 
Erected on what was in colonial times 
the training-ground of the militia. On a 
pedestal are three figures, one — the ideal 
Genius of America— crowning the soldier 
and sailor Avith laurel wreaths. It was 
here that the Fifth Maryland Regiment- 
coming to Boston to participate in the 
celebration of the centennial anniversary 



of the Battle of Bunker Hill, June 17, 1875, 
marched, and without any escort or an- 
nouncement of their intention, placed 
upon this monument a most elaborate 
and beautiful floral shield, inscribed: 
- maryla^■t>'s 
Tribute To 
Massachusetts, 
their band playing a dirge, while the 
regiment stood around the monument, 
forming three sides of a square. This 
tribute was really the first demonstration 
of Southern troops in honoring the mem- 
ory of the Northern heroes of the Rebel- 
lion, and the beautiful ceremony is still 
warmly remembered and cherished by 
the people of Boston, who honor the 
soldiers of the Fifth Maryland Regiment 
for so graceful and magnanimous an ex- 
pression of good-will. No political dema- 
gogues can destroy a friendship between 
the people of the North and South that is 
based upon such noble and generous im- 
pulses as those from which sprang the 
execution of the act here recorded, 

Columbus Statue. (1849). Louis- 
burg Square, between Mount Vernon and 
Pinckney Streets. A statue of Christo- 
pher Columbus, in Italian marble. Pre- 
sented to the city by the late Joseph 
lasigi. 

Dorchester Soldiers' Monu- 
ment. a867). Mee ting-House Hill, 
Dorchester District. A granite obelisk, 
31 feet high, resting ui^on a ledge. Tab- 
lets, giving the names of the soldiers of 
Dorchester who fell in the War of the 
Rebellion, are upon its base. B. F. 
Dwight was the architect. Rev. Chas. 
A. Humphreys delivered the oration on 
the occasion of its dedication, Sept. 17, 
1867. 

Emancipation Group. (1879). 
In Park Square, Dec. 0, 1879, there wais 
unveiled a bronze grou]) of statuary, rep- 
resenting Abraham Lincoln standing 
over a prostrate freedman with his 
shackles broken. On the pedestal is in- 
scribed 

Emakcipation. 

On the base are the following words : 

- A Race Set Free - 

- And the Couktry at Peace - 

- LI^coLN - 

- Rests from His labors - 

The group, costing ^17,000, was the gift 

of Moses Kimball. Mayor F. O. Prince 

delivered the dedicatory oration. 

Ether Monument. (1868). The 

monument erected in 18C8 on the Public 
Garden, near Arlington Street, was the 
gift to the city of Thomas Lee. It is of 
granite and red marble, and the two ideal 
figures surmounting the shaft represent 
the Good Samaritan and the sufferer. 
The inscriptions are as follows:

' This Also Cometh Forth

Which is AVonderful 

IN Counsel 

AND Excellent 

In Working." 

— Isaiah. 



The celebrated sculptor, Truman H. 
Bartlett, says of this statue : " It produces 
an excellent effect as a whole." The 
large number of visitors proves that the 
work is interesting in itself, as well as for 
the important discovery it commemo- 
rates, the illustration of the parable ap- 
pealing to the sentiment of all. 



Everett Statue. (18G7). Public 
Garden, near Beacon Street. This statue, 
in bronze, by William W. Story, was un- 
veiled November, 18G7. It has the merit 
of bearing the closest resemblance to 
Everett in features, although the pose 
has been severely criticised. It is said 
that the right arm was placed in an up- 
right position at the wish of the com- 
mittee having in charge the work of 
having it designed, and against the desire 
of the artist. Bartlett says of it: " It is 
the only portrait-statue in Boston that 
has a defined and undistracted intention 
as the basis and structure of its com- 
position." Wendell Phillips wrote of 
this celebrated statue as follows: "And 
so we come in our walk to Everett, in 
trousers too large for him, and a frock- 
coat which he has slightly outgrown. It 
requires consummate genius to manage 
the modern costume. But this figure 
also seems toppling over backwards, as, 
with more energy than P^verett ever 
showed in his lifetime, he exclaims, 
' Tliat is the road to Brkihton ! ' pointing 
with lifted arm and wide-spread fingers 
to that centre of beef and the races. 
Story's friends say he never lifted that 



weary arm, but yielded to a committee's 
urging, as no true artist ever should do." 

Flora Statue. (18G5). An ideal 
statue of Flora, by Martin Milmore, in 
granite, ornaments the facade of the 
Building of the Massachusetts Horti(;ul- 
tural Society, at the corner of Tremont 
and Bromtield Streets. 

Franklin Statue. (185G). City 
Hall Yard, School Street. This, the first 
statue to be placed in the public squares 
and parks of the city, was unveiled Sept. 
17, 185G. Richard S. Greenough, the 
famous Boston artist, was its designer. 
Upon the sides of the pedestal are bas- 
reliefs illustrating events in Franklin's 
career. Bartlett considers the p o s e 
" happy, human and effective." Wendell 
Phillips, however, thought it represented 
a '■'■ dilapidated roue!" This statue 
(whatever may be its artistic shortcom- 
ings) owing to its proximity to one of 
the most largely-travelled thoroughfares 
in the city, is almost constantly an ob- 
ject of great interest to numbers of per- 
sons, and it is seldom that it is not 
surrounded by a score of strangers. 

Garrison Statue. (1886). A bronze 
Statue of William Lloyd Garrison, the 
famous anti-slavery agitator of Boston, 
was placed on the Commonwealth Avenue 
Parkway, May 13, 188G, without any for- 
mal services. It stands between Dart- 
mouth and Exeter Streets, in front of the 
Hotel Vendome. The statue is of colossal 
size, and represents Garrison seated in 
his chair, his head turned slightly to the 
right, and uncovered. In his rig'ht hand 
are some sheets of manuscript. The face 
is a good likeness of the celebrated re- 
former, the pose is easy, and the work is 
strong, simple and natural. It is the 
largest piece of casting ever done in 
America in one piece, the weight being 
2G00 pounds. The inscriptions are as fol- 
lows: 

William Lloyd Garrison.' 
1805 — 1879 



I am in Earnest— I will not 

Equivocate — I will not Excuse — 

I WILL NOT Retreat a single Inch, 

AND I Will be Heard. 



My Country is the World; 

My Countrymen are 

ALL Mankind. 

Glover Statue. (1875), standing 
on the Commonwealth Avenue Parkway 
is the celebrated John Glover statue, 
which has attracted so nuich attention 
from those interested in sculpture. It 
is of bronze, and the artist, Martin Mil- 
more, has here exhibited to the fullest 
extent his disregard of old traditions and 
ventured upon new ground in his strong 
and heroic treatment. Gen. Glover com-

Hamilton Statue. (18G5). The 

fir^^t of the statues to be placed on Com- 
monwealth Avenue Parkway was that of 
Alexander Hamilton. It is'said to have 
been the firi-t statue to be made of gran- 
ite. It was the work of William Rimmer. 
The following are the inscriptions upon 
the pedestal:

Born in the Island of 

Nevis, West Indies, 

11 January 1757.

Province was the Treasury, 

His Genius Pervaded the 

Whole Administration 

of Washington, 

The Hamilton statue was presented to 
the city by Thomas Lee, and was i)laced 
in its present position in 18t5. It is much 
visited by students of the late Dr. Rim- 
mer, the sculptor, and by manv who ad- 
mire the treatment of the subject. 

Harvard Monument. (1828). 

Grateful graduates of Harvard I'niver- 
sity erected in the old graveyard in the 



Charlestown District — near the State 
Pii.son — a shaft of granite to the memory 
of John Harvard, the founder of the 
great University bearing his name. The 
shaft is inscribed as follows:

September, A. D. 1828 
. This Stone was Erected 
By the Graduates 
of the 
University at Cambridge 
In Honor of 
Its Founder, 
Who died at Charlestown,

Lincoln. 

Xiincoln Statue. (1579), Abraham 
Lincoln. (See JJinaiuqiatioii Group). 

Xjyman Fountain. (,1885). Eaton 
Square, Meeting-1 louse Hill, Dorchester 
District. This elegant fountain — the 
largest and most imposing in or about 
Boston— was erected in honor of Theodore 
Lyman, Jr., IMayor of Boston 1834-5. 
Designed and constructed by M. D. Jones. 
It is 28 feet high. It is bui'lt ot bronzed 
iron. At the base are four figures repre- 
senting the seasons, A figure, of zinc, 
Illustrating Leda and the Swan, sur- 
mounts the structure. The fountain cost 
$7,000, Erected by means of a subscrip- 
tion. Dedicated, with musical and ora- 
torical exercises, Oct, 24, 1885, 

Mann Statue. (18G5), Terrace of 
State House (irounds. Beacon Street, 
This bronze statue of Horace 3Iann, the 
most conspicuous figure in the develop- 
ment of the general educational system 
of Massachusetts, was the work of Emma 
Stcbbins, an American artist. The cost 
of the statue was defrayed by a subscrip- 
tion of the teachers and children of the 
public schools of the State, who presented 
it to the Commonwealth in 18!J5. The 
dedication addresses were made by 
Samuel Ct, Howe, John A. Andrew and 
others. Criticism on this statue is at 
variance, Truman Bartlett thinks " There 
is a great deal of earnest thought and 
work in the execution," Arthur Dexter 
considers it " a mass of bad drapery." 
It is visited much liy students of art from 
various parts of the country, as are the 
numerous other statues and monuments 
of the city. 

Military Memorial. Mount 
Hope Cemetery. This is formed of heavy 
ordnance, contributed by the United

Martineau (Harriet) Statue. 

By Anne Whitney. This statue, placed 
in the Old South Church some time since, 
is now at Wellesley College. 

Orpheus Statue. (1844). Museum 
of Fine Arts. St. James av. An ideal 
statue of great beauty. Througli the 
efforts of Charles Sumner asumof'money 
Avas subscribed and sent to Thomas 
Crawford, then a needy and struggling 
American artist at Rome, witli a commis- 
sion for the Orpheus. It was the fi;st 
encouraging liand held out to the young 
artist, and he Iteenly appreciated it. The 
Orpheus is one of the best works of any 
American artist, and together with his 
r.eethoven, at Boston Music Hall, will 
keep Crawford's memory green in the 
hearts of his countrymen. The Orpheus 
statue was purchased in 1844. 

Otis Statue. Chapel, Mount Au- 
burn, Cambridge. A statue of James 
Otis, the patriot. 

Pomona Statue. (18G5). Upon 
the Horticultural Society's Building, at 
lOOTremont Street, corner of Bromfteld 
Street, is an ideal statue of Pomona, by 
tlie late Martin Milmore, forming one 
of a group of three, namely, Ceres, Flora 
and Pomona. 

Prescott Statue, (issi). On the 
Bunker Hill Monument grounds, in the 
Charlestown District, is a striking statue 
of Colonel William Prescott, by W. W. 
Story. It is erected on the spot where 
the hero is supposed to have stood when 
he spoke the memorable caution to his 
men: "Don't fire until you can see the 
whites of their eyes!" The statue w^as 
erected June 17, 'l881. Robert C. Win- 
throi) was the orator at the unveiling. 
The front panel of the pedestal is in- 
scribed: 

Colonel 

"William Prescott, 

Ju:n-e 17, 1775. 

Quincy Statue. (1879). City Hall 
Enclosure, School Street. By Thomas 
Ball. A bronze statue of Josiah Quincy, 
second Mayor of Boston (1823), and oiie 
of the most progressive men the city has 
ever possessed. It was OAving to his en- 
terprise that Quincy Market was estab- 
lished, and many other improvements had 
their inception in his far-seeing mind. 
Had all ol his suggestions been carried 
out, Boston would have been a far hand- 
somer city even than it is to-day. It was 
his wish to have laid out a wide avenue 



from Roxbury Neck to Chelsea Ferry, 
Avhich would have been the Washington 
Street, instead of the narrow, crooked 
thoroughfare in which people, cars and 
cabs to-day get almost hopelessly and 
inextricably " blocked " at nearly every 
hour of the day; and what is to be done 
there in ten years from now in the way of 
transit nobody will daie to predict, unless 
the method of London is followed. 
Quincy foresaw that Boston was to be- 
come a great metropolis, and endeavored 
to make others realize it, but he could not 
break the shell of ccmservatisra which 
has always enclosed Boston, and wliich 
still impedes its natural progress. This 
line statue portrays the able Mayor at his 
best, and represents him at a time when 
he said, in his inaugural address: "The 
destinies of the City of Boston are of a 
nature too plain to be denied or mis- 
conceived. The prognostics of its future 
greatness are written on the face of 
Nature too legibly and too indelibly to be 
mistaken. The indications are ajparent 
from the location of our city, fiom its 
harbor, and its relative position among 
rival towns and cities; above all from 
the character of its inhabitants, and the 
singular degree of enterprise and in- 
telligence wliich are diffused through 
every class of its citizens." 

Roxbury Soldiers' Monu- 
ment. (lS(i7). Forest Hills Cemetery. 
A bmnze statue; the work of Martin 
Millmore. It was cast at Chicopee. 

Soldiers' Monument. Mount 
Ho]ie Cemetery. Erected by the City of 
Boston to conimemerate the services of 
her fallen heroes. 

Sphinx. Mount Auburn, Cambriflge. 
One of the greatest works of one of 12os- 
ton's famous sculptors, the late Martin 
Milinore, and one that will, of itself, long 
perpetuate his name, is the widelj'-cele- 
brated Sphinx, placed in Mount Auburn. 
Directly in front of the Chapel, it stands 
as a permanent memorial of the War of 
the Rebellion. A writer has said: " It is 
an Egyptian symbol of might and intel- 
ligence combined; but, in its human 
features, modern or American, not brood- 
ing on Death, but looking forward to the 
larger life." Its inscriirtion is: 

American Union Preserved: 

African Slaverv Destroyed 

By the Uprisino of 

A Great People; 

By the Blood of 

Fallen Heroes. 

Story Statue. Chapel, Mount 
Auburn, Cambridge. A marble statue of 
Josei)h Story, the eminent jurist, de- 
signed and executed by his son. In a 
sitting position, the left hand holding a 
book, and the right hand slightly raised.

Sumner Bust. Doric Hall, State 
House, Beacon Stieet. A bust of the late 
Charles Suiuuer. 

Sumner Statue. (1878). ruWic 
Garden, near Ikiyis^ton Street, oi)i)()site 
Church Street. This statue, of bronze, by 
Thomas Ball, was placed here Dec. 23, 1878. 
Its cost was yl5,000. Anicnig- the artists 
who competed for the three iirizesof .^500 
each were Thomas Ball, Anne Whitney and 
Martin Milmore, each receiving- one, and 
the design of jMr. Ball was selected as 
that most pleasing to the committee hav- 
ing in charge the erection of the statue. 
Wendell Phillips had his fling at this 
statue, but his " criticism " was so hasty 
and so mucu overdrawn that it had the 
effect of creating symi;athy and fair 
treatment for the artist and of acting as 
a boomerang on the writer: '"If this 
bronze pyramid on Boylston Street be a 
cask macle of staves, "^ why is it set on 
human legs? and if it is really Sumner, 
why do his chest and shoulders rise out 
of a barrel ? Is his broadcloth new felt, 
too stiff for folds, or is he dressed in 
shoe-leather? That matters little, how- 
ever. But no angry Southerner would 
have needed to sniite those overfed 
cheeks, which may have faced many a 
snowstorm on the locomotive, or many a 
Northeaster on our coast, but surely must 
have been far too innocent of thought 
and passion ever to anger senates or 
r )use nations to war." Eminent Euro- 
pean cities have highly praisetl this 
statue. 

Venui Statue. On the Public 

Gardni, neir the Arlington Sti'eet en- 
trance, fcom Commonwealth Avenue 
Parkway, is a marble statue of Venus, — 
so:netim^s called " The Maid-of-the- 
Misf — standing in one of the fcmntain- 
basins near the equestrian statue of 
Washington. When the water is let into 
the fountain a shower of spray is made 
to fall upon the pretty statue, making a 
very pleasing effect. On summer days it 
is quite a centre of attractions to* the 
throngs of people who visit this great 
pleasure garden. 

Washington Equestrian Sta- 
tue. (ISlW). Public (harden, facing the 
Arlington Street entrance, opposite the 
Commonwealth Avenue Parkway. Among 
the earliest promoters of the movement 
to erect this statue, which is said by 
competent art critics to be the n!o^t 
artistic work of the kind on the conti- 
nent, was William Willard, the eminent 
portrait painter. Robert C. Wintlirop 
handed over the proceeds of an oration nt 
lioston Music Hall, as a contribution to 
the fund, in 1853; the citv donateil 
;i;iO,000; a great fair was held in aid of 
the project, and the balance remaining 
aft^'r the purchase of the Everett statue— 
$5,000— beiUj;- added, the sum was ami^le 



for its cost. The commission for its ex- 
Cijution was given to Thomas Ball, Bos- 
ton's famous sculptor, in 1859, and on 
July 3, 1869, it was unveiled to the gaze of 
a<lmiring thousands. In conception, free- 
dom, strength, and all the elements that 
combine to form a complete artistic 
Avhole, this statue may unreservedly be 
ranked among the world's greatest 
works of art, and Boston was indeed fort- 
unate in securing so magnificent a crea- 
tion. Students of what is really true 
and great in sculpture may here find a 
model worthy of their best thoughts and 
aspirations. This colossal and imposing 
work will be better appreciated day by 
day and year by year, as the artistic 
sense of the general public becomes more 
highly educated and refined, and its 
many beauties will appear correspond- 
ingly consi)icuous. Trunian Bartlett, 
himself a sculptor of eminence, and 
therefore the better qualified to judge of 
the efforts of another in the same field of 
art, says this statue is " the most im- 
portant and best specimen of monu- 
mental decoration in New England. The 
horse has a personality; the ears being 
thrown forward, the eyes and action of 
the head indicating that he is attracted 
by some object. This pers<mality is an 
essential quality in a composition like 
this. Whatever may be said against this 
statue from the staiidpoint of the ^reat 
equestrian statues of the world, it is 
certain that as time goes on, and the 
circumstances surrounding its produc- 
tion are fully understood, it will lose 
neither interest nor admiration." As an 
amusing foil to this magnanimous and 
well-grounded criticism of a brother- 
artist, let us turn to the scolding para- 
graph of Wendell Phillips, the belovd 
late silver-voiced orator, who i)laced on 
r.^cord the following diatribe, which is 
cc;tainly antagonistic to the criticism of 
every real artist who has written of tliij 
grand work: "But who is this riding- 
m ister, on a really good horsn, star ing so 
heroically up (Commonwealth Avenue? 
AVashington ? Well, then, my worthy 
George, drop your legs closer to your 
horse's side; it' must fatigue y<mtohold 
them off at that painful (listance. Rest 
yourself. General; subside for a moment, 
as you used to do at Mount Vernon, into 
the easy pose of a gentleman; don't 
oblige us to fancy you are exhibiting, 
and rather caricaturing, a model 'seat' 
for the guidance of some slow pupil. 
Cannot you see, right in front of you, 
Riuuner's Hamilton? Let that teach 
you the majesty of repose." It is a mat- 
ter of congratulation that this statue was 
in every respect a home product. Designed 
and modelled by a Boston artist (in a 
studio in the rear of the Chickering Piano- 
forte Manufactory ,Tremont Street), it Avas 
cast by the Ames Company, of Chicoi)ee, 
in this State, and it is equally as satis- 
factory aji any work from foreign coun- 
tries.

AVAS— FRA 



Washington Statue. fi828). 
Doric Hall, State House, lieacon Street. 
By Cliautrey. This is one of the best 
statues to bo seen in Boston. There is a 
dignity, strength and repose blended in 
its composition that fully satislics the 
artistic sense. The work was obtained 
through the efforts of the Washington 
Monument Association, who placed it 
here. 



Webster Statue. (1859). Terrace 
of State House (i rounds. Beacon Street. 
This statue, of bronze, heroic size, Avas 
the work of Hiram l'ow( rs, the features 
having been modelled from life by the 
artist. Edward Everett, who deliverc d 
the oration at the unveiiing of this statue, 
said: "His imperial gaze is directed, 
with the hopes of the country, to the 
boundless West." The Avork cost $10,000. 
It was dedicated Sept. 17, 1859. What- 
ever may be its blemishes, it has, at least, 
the merit of excellence as a portrait. 
Truman Jiartlett, in his "Civic Monu- 
ments," says of this work: "It is an 
illustrative statue in its fullest and nearly 
Its Hattest sense. It is as near a work of 
art :'s bronze can make it." Wendell Bhil- 
lips said of it, in his vigorous style : " Then , 
AVebster, that mass of ugly iron at the 
State House ! which cheers us as we 
climb those endless steps, robbing the 
effort Of half its weariness by resting us 
with a laugh; of which a journal said, 
with undue frankness, that Everett, well 
knov.ing how hideous it was, let it be 
raised to revenge himself on the man 
who overshadowed and eclipsed him ! 
But they have supplied him with a foil, 
Avhicii lialf redeems its shai>elessness. It 
is Horace Mann, waked up so suddenly 
that in his hurry he has brought half his 
bed-clothes clingingto his legs and arms." 
It is easy to ridicule, and the greater the 
work, the more strong and original the 
thought, the more easily may a critic who 
h;>s no ])r:ictical knowiedge of the art, 
call the attention of the public to what 
seems al'surd, but what is often an 
atteuipt on the ]>art of the artist to get 
out of the beuteii track.

LIBRARIES AND READING ROOMS. 



No City in America compares with 
Boston in tlie number, extent and value 
of its i)ublic and private libraries. Upon 
meeting frequently in Boston a gentle- 
man of literary taste, a resident of New 
York, we asked him why he came to 
Boston so often. His reply was: " Bos- 
ton's great libraries bring' me liere. I 
c: nnot find the works I desire to con- 
sult in any other libraries in the Unit* d 
States. The people of Boston cannot 
fully realizf what a grand treasure-house 
of lie rtiiro they possess in tlie Public 
Libraiy, and the great Free Libraiy of 
Harvard University has a completeness 
and system that is amazing to a New 
"Vorkt r, accustomed to meagre facilities 
in this directi >ii. lean now easily con.- 
preliend why tlie peoj)le of Boston and 
vicinity are endowed with a more gen- 
eral air of culture than other comu^iuni- 
ti 'S, and the reason is obvious why Bos- 
ton has become the seat of so many great 
educational institutions. CoUegts and 
libraries are usually to be found in jux- 
taposition, and in "both of these educa- 
tors Boston is immeasurably in advance 
of the rest of the United States," 



the largest and most complete collection 
of Shakspearian literature, l-,000 vol- 
umes), ana numerous others. Donations 
in money and bequests liave been ex- 
tremely large. Joshua Bates gave 5=50,- 
Oua in cash (and .*50,000 worth of books); 
Jonathan Phillips, ??30,000; Abbott Law- 
rence, .slO,000, and others have been gen- 
erous in their gifts. The li. rary, in 18M, 
was opened in Mason Street. In 1858 it 
was removed to its present bui iling, 
wliicli cost to construct neaily .'<400,000. 
On the lower floor are a distributing 
room, tlie lower library-room, two free 
reading-rooms and an art ga.lery; on the 
second floor is the lar,ge and elegant 
room devoted mainly to the reference 
librarv, named Bates Hall, in compliment 
to Joshua Batos, one of its most liber..! 
donors. In the reading-room on the 
lower floor one may consult almost any 
magazine or pr-riodical i)ul)lished abroad 
or at home. Books in Bates Hall nuiy be 
read within the building by any one, 
while for the privilege of taking vol- 
umes home it is simply necessary for any 
resident of Boston al)ove the age of IG 
to subscribe to certain reasonable rules. 
The Library is open to all.

The Commonwealth of Massrchusetts, 
in 1880, presented the City of Boston with 
a large plot of land on the corner of 
Dartmouth and Boyiston Streets, front- 
ing Copley Square,\ipon which to ereet 
a Public Library Building, and it is in- 
tended to make the new structure a 
magnificent, spacious and fire-proof re- 
pository. It is probable that the present 
building at 40 Boylston Street will be re- 
tained as a Central Distributing Library, 
as at present, while the Bates Hall collec- 
tion will be removed to the new quarters, 
where a Back Bay distributing station 
will be established.

Library. (1G38\ Cambridge. Next

strange indeed if an educational institu- 
tion founded in 1638 — eight years after 
the settlement of Boston— anil the only 
really great University of the land, had 
not accumulated a Library of immense 
size and value. The following are the

The Harvard University Library may

REAL BOSTON, 



The Actual Boston of to-day is 

by no means to be measured by the pop- 
ulation crowded within the circumscribt d 
area of tlie city limits. Thousands upon 
thousands of * people transacting liusi- 
ness in Boston — or closely identified 
with its vast real-estate, railway, com- 
mercial, hotel, club, theatrical, bankinc^, 
school, stock, telegraph, lilTary, mu'^i- 
cal, literary, artistic, social and multi- 
tudinous other interests — reside, or, at 
least, pass the night, in the numerous 
cities, towns and villages within a radius 
of twenty-five miles from the heart of 
the city. All of these great suburbs are 
within easy access by steam-railways, 
street-cars, etc., and —as rapid transit 
is now one of the foremost issues of the 
day in Boston -the time required for 
reaching these environs (which is even 
now quite brief) will be lessened more or 
less year by year. In order to substanti- 
ate the claims of Boston to a really very 
large population, as far as all pnictical 
identification of interests and other con- 
ditions are concerned, — of over a iiiil- 
Vion of people (and of half a million 
within her borders and in her immediate 
suburbs) the following list of cities and 
towns within this radius, with their pop- 
ulation, is given, in order that one m;iy 
judge correctly of the great importance 
of the metropolis of New England as a 
commercial, business, railway, steam- 
ship, hotel and theatrical centre:

BOARDING HOUSES. 



For the convenience of those at a 
distance who contemplate coming to Bos- 
ton for a visit, or to reside during a 
course of study at any of the various 
Colleges, Conservatories or Schools of the 
city, the following revised list of board- 
ing-houses has been prepared for this 
work. One can live economically, or 
expensively, as may suit the taste or 
l>ocket of "the visitor. Prices range ac- 
cording to location, size and number of 
rooms required, etc., and one can obtain 
board in respectable neighborhoods at 
from $6 to $^15 per week, according to 
accommodations. One can, of course, 
find cheaper or dearer rates, but woukl 
hardly expect satisfactory table and 
rooms at less than ■'^6. It would be well 
for our readers who propose making a 
stay in Boston to address a letter to sev- 
eral of the parties here named, a week or 
two before coming, asking for particulars

FREE BATHS. 



Boston led the way in promoting the 
sanitary condition of the people of the 
great cities, being the first city to estab- 
lish free baths for the public. The ex- 
periment of placing a few of these houses 
at easily accessible locations worked so 
well that the great system was soon com- 
pleted and in good working order. The 
baths are open early, from June 1 to Sep- 
tember 30, for males, on week-days from 
5 a. m. to 9 p. m.; and on Sundays from 
5 a. m. to 9. a. m.; for females, on week-

days from 6 a. m. to 9 a. m. Boys and 
girls under fifteen years of age are not 
admitted to the bathing-houses after 
7 p. m., the decision of the Superintendent 
against admission being final. All the 
houses are closed at 10 p. m. on week-days 
and at 9.30 a. m. on Sundays. The float- 
ing swimming-baths are located as fol- 
lows:

throutrh the tinted mr.ples and elms; the 
line of surrounding hills, Brighton, Brook- 
line, Roxbury and Dorchester; the islands 



that gem the harbor; the city, stretched

Boston Base Ball Club. (1871). 
Grounds at South End, near Trcmont 
Street. The game of Base Ball is no- 



where more popular than in Boston, 
where the excitement over a match often

ton is the only city that has sustained a 
professional team since the establish- 
ment of a professional association in 18"^!. 
In that year the Athletics of Philadelphia 
held the championship. In 1872, how- 
ever, the Bostons captured the pennant 
an_d held it in 187.3, 1874, 1875 (losing it in 
1876 to the Chicagos"), and again were 
champions in 1877 and 1878. In 188.S they 
again held it. The Bostons have there- 
fore retained the champion:hip for seven 
years out of the fifteen. The Chicagos 
rank next, having been champions for 



I30S-S0U

five years. The Providence (R. I.) club 
were' champions in 1879, 1884. The be^<t 
record ever made in one season was that 
of the Bostons in 1875, when they Avon 71 
games and lost 8 only. Following is the 
championship record: 

1871 Athletics, Philadelphia 

1872, 1873, 1874, 1875 Bostons 

187G Chicagos

SUBURBAN EXCURSIONS. 



Andover 20 miles from Boston. 
Boston & ]\Iaine Railway. A charming 
old town, often called Andover-on-the- 
Hill, is noted as the seat of three well- 
known institutions of learning, the An- 
dover Theological Seminary, Phillips 
Academy and Abbott Academy. Andover 
is beautifully and healthfully situated, 
on a liigh and dry location, and the views 
in every direction are picturesque. The 
Mansion House is a favorite old, com- 
fortable hotel, largely patronized by 
Bostonians in the summer. Trains run 
at almost every liour in the day from 
Boston, making' tlae town very accessible 
to merchants who wish to get out of the 
city during any day or night of the 
heated term. 

Beverly, is miles, on the Eastern 
Railway. A busy shoe-manufacturing 
town. Along the shore are many summer 
residences of Boston's wealthy men. 

Brookline. 3 miles. Adjoins the 
city limits. Easily accessible by steam- 
trains on the Boston and Albany Rail- 
way, or by lines of street-cars on Hur.- 
tington Avenue or Tremont Street. Oi.e 
of the most beautiful suburbs. Its resi- 
dents are mostly families of wealth, 
whose mansions are substantial and 
elegant and are surrounded by well-kei,t 
lawns, flowerbeds, etc. The territory 
greatly resembles certain out-lying dis- 
tricts near London. The streets, side- 
walks, and all that relate to the comfort 
and convenience of the inhabitants are 
in the most perfect condition. For driv- 
ing, 'cycling or walking there is no more 
beautiful or picturesque locality in the 
country. The better direction for pedes- 
trians, 'cyclists and djivers of caxTiages 
is out over Beacon Street and tlie Mill- 
dam, through Longwood, another charm- 
ing suburb. Street-cars m;ty be taken on 
Tremont Street, at the head of Bromfield 
Street, furnishing in the summer, when 
oj)en cars are run, one of the most attrac- 
tive excursions possible for the trifling 
expenditure of ten cents for the round 
trip. 

Chelsea. 4 miles. Here is a flour- 
ishing city. Reached bv ferrv from foot 
of Hanover Street, by ferry from Atlan- 
tic Avenue (Boston & Revere Beach 
Railway), by street-cars of the Lynn and 
Boston horse-rail wav, or bv street-cars 
via East Boston ferry. The famous Lowe 
Tile-Works and the celebrated Chelsea 
Potteries are here. On Fowderhorn Hill 
is the Soldiers' Home. The United States 
Naval Hospital is also located here. An 
elegant theatre, the Academy of Music, 
is successfully conducted by Managtr 
J. B. Field. The Soldiers' Monument is 
■well worthy of a visit. 



Chestnut Hill Reservoir and 

Park. One of the most beautiful 
drives, walks or bicycle routes out of 
Boston is the avenue (Beacon Street) 
from the Milldam to Chestnut Hill 
Park, where the great Reservoir of 
the city is located. The distance is about 
five miks, and the entire length is bor- 
dered by grand old country mansions 
surrounded by fine old trees and lawns, 
amid hills and dales. This whole 
picturesque district more closely resem-. 
bles an English landscape than any 
section of country to be found in America. 
Many Queen Anne cottages pet p through 
the foliage, the closely-shaven lawns, and 
beds of beautiful flowers, the well-kept 
roads, etc., combine to complete the great 
natural resemblance to "the green lanes 
of England." Foreigners are sure to note 
the similarity, and with surprise, espe- 
cially when they catch a glimjjse of " the 
winding Charles," which they liken to 
England's beautiful Thames. The road 
to Chestnut Hill is the most fashionable 
diive in New England, the horses and 
carriages to be found there on any 
pleasant afternoon indicating by their 
numbers and expensiveness the great 
wealth of their owners, the merchant 
princes of Boston. Equestrians are also 
to be seen here somewhat numerously, 
although many of them make detours by 
way of bridle-paths and lanes leading 
from the main road. The grounds about 
the Reservoir are laid out as a park, and 
in summer are very attractive. The 
Reservoir is one of the " siglits " of the 
suburbs. It has an area of 125 acres, has 
a capacity of about 800,000,000 gallons, and 
is two and a half miles in circumference. 
(This is one of the most popular bicycle 
routes.) 

Concord. 19 miles from Boston. 
Fitchburg Railway. Also, Boston & 
Lowell Railway. Tourists cannot fail to - 
find most attractive objects of historical 
and literary interest in this picturesque 
old town. Here lived Nathaniel Haw- 
thorne (in a hov.se now standing about a 
mile from the Common); Thoreau and 
Emerson. Here is the summer home of 
Louise Alcott, in the hovise once occu- 
pied bv Thoreau. On the shore of Lake 
Walden, one of the most beautiful sheets 
of water in New England, is a pile of 
stones marking the spot where was 
located the hut in w-hich Thoreau lived 
for some time. The Summer School of 
Philosophy attracts many persons from 
various sections of the United States and 
Canada to Concord. This school is held 
in a chapel, which is particularly well 
adapted for the ]iurpose. Near the Old 
Manse is "the rude liridge that arched the 
flood," the Concord monument, and the 



?r4

graves of the British soldiers who fell in 
the memorable battle of April 19, 1775. 
In the Unitarian riiurch building, near 
the Wright Tavern, the first Provincial 
Congress was held. The Concord Library, 
at the junction of Sudbury and JMain 
Streets, is a valuable collection of books. 
The Davis Museum of relics is in the Ol d 
Court House. Thoreau, in his " VValden," 
desciibes the lake as follovi's: "It is so 
remarkable for its dejjth and purity as to 
merit a particular description. It is a 
clear and deep green well, half a mile 
long and a mile and three-quarters in 
circumfertnce; it cont:;ins about sixty- 
one and a half acres; a perennial spring 
in the midst of pine and oak woods with- 
out any visible inlet or outlet, except ly 
the clouds and evaporation. The sui- 
lounding hills rise al ruptly from the 
wfter to the height of forty to eighty 
feet, bting exclusively woodland. The 
water is so transi)arent that the bottom 
can easily 1 e discerned at the depth of 
twenty-five or thirty feet." At the com- 
pletion of the Concord Monument, April 
1! th, 183G, a hymn Avritten by Emerson, 
entitled " Concord Fight," was sung. 
The following is the first stanza: 

"By the rude bridge that arched the flood 
Iheir fiag to Ajti-il's breeze unfurled. 

Here once the embattled farmers stood 
And fi.cd the shot heard round the 
world." 

Hawthorne wrote in his note-book: " The 
scenery of Concord, as I beheld it from 
the summit of the hill, has no very mark- 
ed characteristics, but has a good' deal of 
quiet beauty in keeping M'itli the river. 
There are b'oad and peaceful meadows, 
which I think are among the most satis- 
fying objects in natural scenery. The 
heait rei)oses on them with a feeling that 
few things else can give, because almost 
all other objects are abrupt and clearly 
defined; but a meadow stretches out like 
a small infinity, yet with a secure homeli- 
ness, which we do not find either in an 
expanse of water or air. The hills which 
border these meadows are wide swells of 
land, or long and gradual ridges, some of 
them densely covered with wood." Em- 
erson wrote : 

" Because I was content with these poor 
fields, 

Low, open meads, slender and sluggish 
streams. 

And found a home in haunts which others 
scorned, 

The partial woodgods overpaid my love 

And granted me the freedom of their 
state. 
***** 

And through my rocklike, solitary wont 

Shot million rays of thought and tender- 
ness." 

In the jirincipal cemetery of the town arc 
the graves of Emerson, Thoreau and 
Hawthorne. 



Danvers. (Salem Village of 1C92.) 
20 miles from Boston, on Boston & Maine 
Bail way. This was the scene of the no- 
torious witchcraft delusion, which exhib- 
ited the ignorance and superstition of the 
people of that place and period. Danvers 
is a i)leasant town. Here is the Peabody 
library, which, like the Peabody Institute 
at Peabody— once a portion of Danveis— 
was established through the munificK^nce 
of Get)rge Peabody, the London banker, 
who was born in Peabody (South Danvers), 
In Danvers is still standing the house in 
which Gen. Israel Putnam, " Old Put." 
was born, 

Ipswich. 2G miles from Boston, on 
the Eastern Division of the Boston and 
Maine Railway, is one of the most beau- 
tifully located towns in New England. Its 
great, productive farms, its old man- 
sions, and its general thrift tempt many 
a Boston merchant prince to seek a 
summer home within its beautiful and 
recreative domain. 

Jamaica Plain. One of the out- 
lying Districts of Boston (West Roxbury) 
3.^ miles from State Street, on the Boston 
& Providence Railway, It was named iu 
honor of Cromwell's conquest of the 
island of Jamaica from Spain. It was 
originally known as Pond Plain, from the 
famous beautiful pond within its limits, 
covering 70 acres and having a depth in 
places of from 60 to 70 feet. It is one of 
the most attractive sections of the city, 
having broad avenues lined with fine old 
trees, and has been a favoiite location 
for summer residences since the days of 
Hancock, Bowdoin and other Governors 
and distinguished men who formerly re- 
sided here amid great pomp and ceremony. 
(.John Hancock used to ride from his 
country-seat here to his town mansion, 
his equipage being princely, and pre- 
ceded and followed by a body-guard 
of mounted soldiers fifty in liumber, 
with diawn sabres, as an illustration 
of republican simplicity, probably!) In 
this District are located the famous Bus- 
sey Institute and Arnold Arboretum, (see 
Colleges and Scl>ools);the Adams Nervine 
Asvliim; the West Roxbury Soldiers' 
Monument (dedicated Sept. 14, 1871); the 
Allandale Springs, a place of resort of 
great and rapidly-growing popularity; 
Curtis Hall; and various other objects of 
interest. (In the summer open ears aro 
run on the street-railway to Jamai:3a 
Plain, starting from the head of Bror.i- 
field St., forming a very pleasant means 
of communication, and,"^ during a portion 
of the route, passing many fine estates, 
with grand mansions, well-kept lawns, 
etc. The roads will be found good for 
bicycle-riding).

dam, Brighton Avenue, Harvard Square, 
I'orter Station, Arlington, a good one). 
Tlie poet Whittier thus sings of the Lex- 
ington of olden days: (1775). 

" No Berserk thirst of blood had they, 
No hattle-joy was theirs, who set 
Against the alien bayonet 

Their homespun breasts in that old day. 

Their feet had trodden peaceful ways; 
They loved not strife, they dreaded pain, 
They saw not — what to us is plain — 
That God would make man's wrath his 
praise. 

***** 

Swift as their summons came they left 
The plow mid-furrow standing still, 
The half-ground corn grist in the mill. 

The spade in earth, the axe in cleft. 

***** 

Of man for man the sacrifice, 
All that was theirs to give they gave. 
The flowers that blossomed from their 
grave 

Have sown themselves beneath all skies." 

liynn. 12 miles, on the Eastern divis- 
ion of the Boston & Maine Railway. A 
great shoe-manufacturing centre. One 
of the most thriving cities in Massachu- 
setts. It has many points of interest to 
strangers, among them its Beaches, Dun- 
geon Rock (or Pirates' Cave), High Rock, 
etc. Here was formerly the abode of 
Moll Pitclier,the celebrated fortune-teller, 
whose habitation was near the base of 
High Rock. About sixty years ago she 
attracted many people from far and near 
— largely sea-going persons — who de- 
sired her aid in looking into futurity. 
Her full name was Mary Dimond Pitcher. 
She died in 1813, aged 75 years. She has 
been described as having been connected 
with some of the best families of Essex 
County, and has respected descendants 
now liVing in the vicinity of Boston. In 
1832, John Greeuleaf Whittier wrote a 
poem relating to her, from which we 
make the following excerpt : 

" She stood upon a bare, tall crag 

Which overlooked her rugged cot, — 
A wasted, gray and meagre hag. 

In features evil as her lot. 
She had the crooked nose of a witch, 

And a crooked back and chin, 
And in her gait she had a hitch. 
And in her hand she carried a switch 

To aid her work of sin." 

High rock is the name given to an eleva- 
tion which commands a fine view of the 
city and surrounding country, as well as 
of the sea. From Elizabeth F. Merrill's 
poem, " High Rock," we transcribe the 
f ollov/ing lines : 

" AVhen the tide comes in on a sunny day 
You can see the waves beat back in spray 
From the splintered spurs of Phillips 

Head, 
Or tripping along with dainty tread, 



As of a million dancing feet 

Shake out the light in a quick retreat 

Or along the smooth curve of the beach 

SnoAvy aud curling, in long lines reach 

An islet, anchored and held to land 

By a glistening, foam-fringed ribbon of 

sand; 
That is Nahant, and that hoary ledge 
To the left is Egg Rock, like a blunted 

wedge 
Cleaving the restles§ ocean's breast. 
And bearing the lighthouse on its crest." 

Dungeon Rock is noted as having been 
the retreat of pirates in days gone by. 
There is a tradition that Captain Kidd 
buried some of his treasure here. The 
huge rock is in a wild and picturesquely 
beautiful region, although a good car- 
riage-road has been constructed to it 
from the city lying below. For many 
years, under " spiritual " guidance, exca- 
vations were continuously, slowly and 
laboriously made in expectation of dis- 
covering buried treasure, by Mr. Marble 
and his son, both of whom passed away 
without realizing their hopes. Descent 
into the dark, winding stairway, cut 
from the solid rock, may be made by the 
visitor upon payment of a small fee. 
Since the death of the zealous and in- 
dustrious men who doubtless sacrificed 
their lives in toiling in the damp, un- 
wholesome cavern, work upon the exca- 
vation has been entirely suspended. 

Maiden is a thriving and very 
pretty suburb, 5 miles out, on the Boston 
& Maine Railway. Here is the studio and 
home of the famous American artist, 
George Loring Brown, whose paintings 
embellish so many elegant residences. 
There is a very old burial-ground here, 
known as the Sandy Creek or Bell Rock 
Cemeterj', and was used for purposes of 
interment as early as 1650. The following 
is copied from the oldest stone: 

Alice Brackenbuby, 

Wife of AVm. B. Brackenbuby. 

Aged 70 years. 

Died December 28, 1670. 

Here also was buried Rev. Michael 
Wigglesworth, noted as the author of 
" The Day of Doom," a poem. 

Manchester - by - the - Sea. 24 

miles from Boston. Eastern Railway. 
This is one of the most picturesque and 
romantic spots along the entire New Eng- 
land Coast. The roads are excellent, and 
one can find every description of drives. 
There are roads through the open coun- 
try, along hillsides, through the woods or 
by the sea. Here is the famed singing 
beach. Manchester has for many years 
been the summer home of a noted colony 
of theatrical people, among them Mrs. 
Agnes Booth (Schoeflfel), Mrs. D. P. Bow- 
ers, John Gilbert, Joseph Proctor, John 
B. Schoeffel, and others. Here is located 
the celebrated Masconomo House, a fav- 



226 



MAR-QUI 



orite resort of Bostonians, New Yorkers, 
I'hihKk^lpliians, and others from the south 
and west, during the summer months, the 
cool, clear air of this region being ex- 
tremely beneficial to those exhausted by 
over-work or illness. Rev. Dr. Bartol, the 
eminent Boston clergyman, has done 
much toward developing the resources 
of this beautiful town. It was called 
Manchester-by-the-Sea in order to distin- 
guish it from Manchaster, N. H. 

Marblehead. 17 miles. (Eastern 
Railway to Salem, then Marblehead 
Branch.) This is the quaintest old seaport 
town imaginable. When the celebrated 
Whitefield visited Marblehead and saw 
scarcely anything but bare rocks, he asked 
in amazement, " Where do they bury their 
dead?" Here is yet standing the old 
Bank Building, built in 1768, and there 
are a number of other curious old ante- 
Revolutionary houses. Old Fort Sewall 
is an interesting feature of the locality. 

Milton. G miles. This is one of Bos- 
ton's most beautiful suburbs. It is easily 
reached by way of the Old Colony Rail- 
way (trains running both ways sixteen 
times daily), or by street cars from the 
head of Franklin s'treet, corner of Wash- 
ington street. The roads are good for 
bicycles. (Milton was a portion of Suf- 
folk County, previous to 1793). Here is 
standing what is known as the Suffolk 
Resolves Mansion, an inscription on a 
tablet on the front of the building read- 
ing in part as follows : 

In this Mansion, on the ninth bay 
OF September, 1774, at a meeting of 
the delegates of every Town 
AND District in the County 
of Suffolk, the Suffolk 
Resolves were adopt- 
ed. They were 
reported by Major 
General Warren who fell 
IN their defence at the Battle of 
Bunker Hill, June 17, 1775. 

Here, in the Cemetery, are laid the re- 
mains of Wendell Phillips, removed from 
the Granary Burying-ground (where they 
had temporarily been placed at his death) 
in April, 188G. There are numerous ob- 
jects of interest to strangers. There is 
a bright local paper, the Milton News, 
published by W. A. Woodward. 

Newton Circuit. One of the most 
pleasant excursions into the beautiful 
suburbs of Boston may be made by what 
is known as the Newton Circuit of the 
Boston & Albany Railway, opened May 
16, 1886. As is well known the group of 
villages comprising the city of Newton, 
and the other towns between Newton 
and Boston, are among the most pictur- 
esque and charming localities to be found 
in America, rivalling the beautiful settle- 
ments along the banks of the Thames 



above London, the river Charles being 
no less worthy of admiration than the 
English river, and, in fact, there are 
various points of resemblance between 
them. By means of the new NcAvton 
Circuit one may find frequent and rapid 
transit to this delightful suburban region. 
The Circuit Line from Boston to Boston 
—via Main Line Circuit and Brookline 
Circuit— has the following stations: Cot- 
tage Farm (3m.), Allston (4), Brighton (5), 
Faneuil (6), Newton (6.i), Newtonville (8), 
West Newton (9), Auburndale (10), River- 
side (U) (the farthest point of the Circuit, 
a branch line running from here to New- 
ton Lower Falls), Woodland (11), AVaban 
(lOi), Eliot (10), Newton Highlands (9), 
Newton Centre (8), Chestnut Hill (7), 
Reservoir (6), Cypress Street (4^), Brook- 
line (4), Long-wood (3), Chapel (23-4), Bear 
con Street, and ending in Boston, where 
it begins. Trains are run every day, 
Sundays included, almost every half 
hour, upwards of 20 trains per day, each 
way, being made up. 

Peabody. I8 miles, on the Eastern 
Railway. Here is the house where George 
Beabody was born. The Peabody Insti- 
tute aiid Library, given by Peabody to 
the town, are well worthy of a visit. 'The 
Institute contains a remarkably fine oil 
portrait of Queen Victoria, and many 
other highly interesting objects. Here, 
also, is Harmony Grove Cemetery, where 
Peabody was buried, and an old burying- 
ground, where Eliza Wharton, "the Co- 
quette," was buried. In this town is also 
the noted " Ship Rock." (Peabody can 
be reached by street-cars from Cornhill, 
via Lynn & Boston horse-railway.) 

Quincy, 8 miles from Boston. Old 
Colony Railway. One of the most at- 
tractive suburbs of the city. This town 
was called after John Qufncy, who died 
in 1767. Here are a number of historic 
old mansions, among them the houses in 
which the Presidents of the United States, 
John Adams and John Quincy Adams, 
were born and also the house in which 
both of them died. Their remains were 
placed in the portico of the Stone Temple. 
The house in which John Hancock lived 
is also standing. It was here that the 
first railway in this country was laid, in 
1826, the line being three miles in length. 
The noted Adams Academy is located 
here. Among the interesting features of 
the town are the Sailors' Snug Harbor 
and the National Sailors' Home. The 
great granite quarries are objects of 
Avonder to strangers. In fact, the town 
abounds in interesting localities. At the 
dedication of the Sailors' Snug Harbor, 
Lunt's fine poem, containing the fol- 
lowing lines, was read: 

"Here may the veteran mariner repose 
When on his craft the life-storm fiercely 
blows; 



SAL-WEN 



227 



Here let him turn aport, and, furling sail, 
Run for a harbor through the driving 

gale; 
Here, rounding to, drop anchor near the 

shore. 
And ride in safety till life's voyage is 

o'er. 
From cape to cape, search round our 

noble Bay, 
No lovelier sight than here can eye sur- 
vey; 
From yonder hill, when sunsets blazing 

sheen 
Sets in a golden frame the pictured 

scene. 
Let the eye wander freely as it will — 
Landward or seaward — all is beauty 

still." 

Korth of Germantown is Hough's 
Neck, granted to Atherton Hough, of 
Boston, in 1637. The road from Quincy 
was laid out in 1673. The view from 
Hough's Neck, or "Bay-side Park," is 
one of great beauty and diversity. 

Salem. 16 miles from Boston. Reach- 
ed by Eastern division Boston & Maine 
Railway. Also by street cars via Lynn 
and Peabody. Lynn & Boston horse-rail- 
way, office Cornhill, near Pcollay S(iuare. 
Good bicycle roads. (Bicycle route is over 
the Milklam, through B'righton Avenue 
to Harvard Square, Cambridjre, to Por- 
ter's Station, to Medford, Maiden, Maple- 
wood, East Sano-ixs, Lynn, and Salem.) 
Salem is an extremely interestinji; old 
city. It is the county seat of Essex 
County. The Essex House is on the prin- 
cipal s^treet, Essex Street. Here is a State 
Normal School; the Essex Institute, (with 
a library of 25,000 vols.); the Salem Ath- 
enaeum, (with 14,000 vols.); the East India 
Marine Hall, containing the fine ethno- 
logical museum of the Marine Society, 
(open to the public /ree every day except 
Sunday from 9 a. ni. to 5 p. m.) Histori- 
cal associations abound here. The Ro2,er 
Williams House, which is still standing 
at the corner of North and Essex Streets, 
is noted for having been the building 
in which some of the early examinations 
of persons charcred with making use of 
witchcraft were held. Gallows Hill, where 
executions took place, is an elevation in 
the western part of the city. The frame 
of the original first meeting-house, built 
in 1634, is still to be seen, in the rear of 
Plummer Hall. But, to the sentimental 
tourist, the associations clustering about 
the scenes of some of Hawthorne's ro- 
mances are in Salem (as in Boston) more 
precious than any others,tlian even histor- 
ical facts. Hawthorne was born in Union 
Street in 1804. The house is now occupied 
by two families, and is fast going to decay. 
It is a two-story wooden house, and was 
once painted brown. The house on Mall 



Street,where Hawthorne wrote "The Scar- 
let Letter," is also standing, and is some- 
what more pretentious than the Union 
Street house. The Custom House desk of 
pine where he made his first rough draft of 
" The Scarlet Letter " is sacredly preser- 
ved in the reconstructed old First Church, 
before mentioned. Another building, the 
Ingersoll House, dating from 1662, is call- 
ed "The House of the Seven Gables," al- 
though Hawthorne declared that he drew 
entirely upon his imagination for the site 
of his Puncheon mansion. 

Sudbury. 26 miles from Boston. 
Longfellow has immortalized the old inn 
at Sudbury in his famous "Tales of a 
Wayside Inn," from which the following 
extract is taken. Of the personages in- 
troduced into these Tales the musician 
was the late Ole Bull — whose widow and 
daughter now reside in Cambridge — and 
the Sicilian was Luigi Monti. 

"As ancient is this hostelry 

As any in the land may be, 

Built in the old colonial day 

When nien lived in a grander way 

With ampler hospitalitv;— 

A kind of old Hobgoblin Hall 

Now somewhat fallen to decay. 

With weather stains upon the wall. 

And stairways worn, and crazy doors, 

And creaking and uneven floors. 

And chimneys huge and tiled and tall." 

Swampscott. 12 miles, on the 
Eastern Railway. The summer home of 
numerous well-known wealthy Boston- 
ians. There are manj^ elegant villas, and 
several fine hotels, among them being the 
Lincoln and Ocean Houses. The beaches 
are of good length, and the bathing, on 
accouiit of the comparative warmth of 
the water, is very enjoyable. 

Wellesley. 15 miles. Boston and 
Albanv Railway. This is one of the most 
beautiful towns in the chain of park-like 
suburbs surrounding Boston. Here is 
located the great AVellesley College for 
young ladies. The celebrated grounds of 
William Emerson Baker known as Krino 
Park and Grotto, are visited by many 
thousands of people every summer,while 
near by is the Hunnewell Estate, with its 
noted Italian-terrace Garden. 

"Wenham, a prettv town, 22 miles 
from Boston, i^ noted for its Wenham 
Lake, from which, in years gone by, ice 
was cut by the Tudor Ice Company, of 
Boston, and sent to England. Ice is 
known in London, to-day, as " Wenham," 
taking its name from Wenham Lake. 
(AVenham is in Essex County, on the 
Eastern Division of the Boston and Maine 
Railway.) 



A-FRA 



PUBLIC PARKS. 



A few years ago iJoston began 
to realize that with the rajiid increase in 
population there came the need of more 
open spaces in which the i)eople might 
find rest and recreation, and that the time 
to lay out these public i)arks was before 
desirable territory for such grounds had 
been laid out into streets and covered 
■with dwelling houses. Boston sometimes 
looks ahead a little, and in the matter of 
parks, she has recently taken steps in a 
true, progressive direction. The follow- 
ing is a list of old and ziew public parks 
and squares: 

Arboretum Park. Jamaica Plain, 
W. Roxbury District. 1G4 acres. Reached 
by steam railway, Boston and Providence 
line to Forest Hills Station, or by street- 
cars, Jamaica Plain line. 

Back Bay Park. On the " made 
land " of the Back Bay or New West End 
Territory. Avenues lead to it from AVest 
Chester Park Street and Beacon Street. 
It is constructed on a novel plan, com- 
bining effects of "wild gardens," groves 
of trees and shrubbery, water-basins, 
etc., diversified by carriage-drives and 
promenades. The Back Bay cars take 
one quite near. 

Belmont Square. Bounded by 
Sumner, "Webster, Scaver and Lamson 
Streets, East Boston. Area, 30,000 square 
feet. 

Blackstone Square. Bounded 
by Shawmut Avenue, West Newton, 
Washington and West Brookliue Streets. 
Area, 105,100 square feet. 

Boston Common, Bounded by 
Tremont, Park, Beacon, Charles and 
Boylston Streets. Area, 48J acres. 

Brighton Square. Between 
Rockland Street and Chestnut Hill Av- 
enue, Brighton District. Area, 25,035 
square feet. 

Bromley Park. From Bickford 
Street to Albert Street. Area, 20,975 
square feet. 

Cedar Square. Cedar Street, 
Roxbury District. Area, 26,163 square 
feet. 

Central Square- Between Meri- 
dian Street and Border Street, East Bos- 
ton. Area, 32,310 square feet. 

Chester Park. From Washington 
Street (No. 1750) to Harrison Avenue (No. 
841), South End. 



Chester Square. From Wash- 
ington Street (No. 17-47) to Tremont Street 
(No. 780), South End. Area, 74,000 square 
feet. 

City Square. Near Main, Bow and 
Chelsea Streets, Charlestown District. 

Commonwealth Avenue 
Parkway. From Arlington Street to 
West Chester Park Street. A beautiful 
promenade, with lawn, four rows of 
shade trees^ a number of tine statues, 
etc. Area, 429,500 square feet. 

Dorchester Square. Meeting 
House Hill, Dorchester District. Area, 
56,200 square feet. 

East Chester Park. From Har- 
rison Avenue (856) to junction of Cottage 
and Boston Streets. Area, 9,300 square 
feet. 

Eaton Square. Church and Bow- 
doin Streets, Dorchester District. Area, 
13,280 square feet. 

Fort Hill Square. Oliver and 
High Streets. A park upon the site of 
Fort Hill, removed some years since. 
Area, 29,480 square feet. 

Fountain Square. FromiSFoun 
tain Street, Roxbury District. 

Franklin (West Roxbury) 

Park. A large territory in the West 
Roxbury District, which has been opened 
to the public in its natural state. Divi- 
sion walls have been removed, and the 
people are permitted to roam at will over 
its hills, plains and meadows, or through 
its woodlands. Naturally one of the most 
picturesque and beautiful tracts in New 
England, it must eventually become, 
when artistic features have supplemented 
its present wildness, one of the most 
charming great public parks of the world. 
The most elaborate plans for heightening 
the beauty of its original features have 
been prepared. It is visited by large 
numbers, especially on Sundays. It is 
estimated that on certain holidays and 
Sundays the number of visitors from all 
directions has reached 50,000. If better 
facilities for transportation were afforded 
even larger numbers would probably as- 
semble. The Park already contains about

be enlarged by the addition of several 
estates adjoinihg. The main entrance is 
from Bhic Hill Avenue. (Take Franklin 
Park or Oakland Garden street-cars at 
Temple Place.)

GYM-DOW 



GYMNASIUMS. 



A Number of years ago a great 
impetus was given to gymnastic training 
in Boston by Dr. CJeorge B. Winship, " tlie 
strong man." Later, Dr. Dio Lewis did 
much to promote physical health, espe- 
cially among young women. The city and 
suburbs are now well supplied with tinelj^- 
appointed gymnasiums, as follows: 

Boston Young Men's Chris- 
tian Association Gymnasium. 

174 Boylston Street. 

Boston Younff Men's Chris- 
tian Union Gymnasium. 18 

Boylston Street. 

Boston Youn^ Women's 
Christian Association Gym- 
nasium. Corner of Berkeley and Ap- 
pleton Streets. 



Butler Gymnasium. 43 West 
Street. 

Catholic Young Men's Gym- 
nasium. I'rospect Street, cor. 
Harvard, C'am))ridgeport. Splendidly 
equipped. 105 ft. long by 93 feet wide; 
60 ft. high. 



Hemen'vray Gymnasium. 

Harvard University, Cambridge. Said to 
be one of the best-equipped gymnasiums 
in the world. 



Turn Hall Gymnasium. 29

BEACHES AND SEASIDE RESORTS. 



Broad in the sunshine stretched away, 
With its capes and islands, the turquoise 

bay, 
And over water and dusk of pines 
Blue hills lifted their faint outlines. 

—John Greenleaf Whittier. 

Atlantic Hill. A noted eminence 
at Nantasket, upon which is situated the 
Atlantic House. (See Nantasket). 

Beachmont. (See Revere Beach). 

Black Rock. A Nantasket resort. 
Exceedingly picturesque. 



Brant Rock. In 

favorite resort. 



Marshfield. A 



City Point. South Boston. For the 
perspiring citizen or stranger who wishes 
to find a cool temperature within a short 
distance, a ride of about thirty minutes 
upon one of the open cars of either the 
Scollay Square or Park Square lines of 
the South Boston Horse Railway, will 
take him to City Point, where he can 
usually enjoy cool, ocean breezes to his 
heart's content. Now that the new JVIarine 
Park has been opened, with its broa d pier 
extending several hundred feet into the 
waters of Dorchester Bay, sheltered from 
the Sim and from rain for the distance of 
three hundred and fifty feet, and having 
a double row of seats its entire length, 



the number of people who make an ex- 
cursion to this point is daily on the in- 
crease. On the first warm flay after the 
pier was constructed (188G) a multitude of 
people visited this Park. The Park Com- 
missioners have arranged for the jireser- 
vation of perfect order. The invigorating 
salt-air breezes, the beautiful view of the 
vessels passing in and out of the harbor; 
of Fort Independence, Thompson Island, 
etc., and the pleasant ride to the Point, 
combine to form a very attractive excur- 
sion, for an outlay of ten cents. 

Cohasset. This is one of the most 
beautiful and romantic spots along the 
whole coast. Here a large theatrical col- 
ony have summer homes. Lawrence 
Ba"rrett has a fine residence. William H. 
Crane, Stuart Robson, Harry Meredith, 
George C. Boniface and others have 
pleasant homes here. (Cohasset is 20 
miles from Boston, on the Old Colony 
Railway). 

Cottage Park, (See Winthrop). 

Crescent Beach. (See Revere 
Beach). 

Crystal Bay, (See Winthrop). 

Downer Landing. One of the 

most beautiful spots in Boston Harbor is 



GLA-MAR 



231 



Downer. Partly sheltered from the 
strongest force of Old Ocean and the 
winds by projecting headlands and rocky 
points, it is much patronized by those who 
prefer placid basins to high-rolling break- 
ers, and quiet, picturesque vieAvs to the 
more bold surroundings of some of the 
other resorts near the city. Here one 
may bathe in water that is more shallow 
and is less cold than at other beaches, and 
there are many unique features which 
bring visitors here who seldom go to the 
other seaside resorts. Here is the noted 
Melville Garden, with an area of twenty 
aci-es, within which are offered innumera- 
ble attractions — boating,fishing,bathing, 
dancing, bowling, shooting, and oppor- 
tunities for playing billiards, ball, cro- 
quet, tennis, lacrosse, etc., while swings, 
flying horses, and other amusements 
please the young. There are bear-pits, 
and numerous other objects of interest. 
It is a great resort for picnic parties from 
all sections of New England. One of its 
features consists of an immense clam- 
bake pavilion — seating nearly a thou- 
sand people at one time— where mammoth 
heaps of clams cooked in the primitive 
manner of the Indians, and taught by 
them to the early settlers of Boston, 
namely, by baking them upon stones 
upon which a hot fire has been burning, 
placing over them seaweed to hold the 
heat. Ears of green corn are cooked in 
the same manner, and at the same time. 
These clambakes are greatly enjoyed 
by the rural population who swarm to 
Downer Landing on hot summer days, 
crowding the great harbor steamers to the 
limit permitted by law. Downer Landing 
has quite a large colony of summer resi- 
dents from Boston and other cities. There 
is an excellent hotel, the Rose Standish 
House. That a certain degree of exclu- 
siveness pervades the community may be 
gathered from the following, from the 
pen of Nora Perry: "Downer Landing 
is a retreat for the cottagers, chiefly; and, 
still and high, it looks down upon Nan- 
tasket's whirl and bustle with a little of 
the holier-than-thouativeness that comes 
so natural to the Bostonian. Ask these 
quiet dwellers, enthroned upon their 
height, if they visit Nantasket fre- 
quently, for a day's junketing, and see 
with what a superior air of pity for your 
ignorance you will be answered. You 
might as well ask them if they spent 
Fourth of July on Boston Common." 
(Steamers for ' Downer Landing leave 
India Wharf, 288 Atlantic Avenue, fre- 
quently during the day. Sundays in- 
cluded. Trains on the Old Colony Rail- 
way carry i)assengers to Hingham). 



Glades. At the extreme end of Scit- 
uate. A most romantic and beautitul 
spot. Here are the summer homes of 
several prominent Bostonians, among 
them Hon. Oliver Ames, Frederic L. 
Ames, Hon. Robert Codman and others. 



Green Hill. One of the jSTantaskct 
resorts. The summer home of the Han- 
Ion Brothers, the famous pantomimists. 



Grover Cliff. 

throp. 



A locality in Win- 



Hingham. About three miles from 
Nantasket Beach is the old town of Hing- 
ham. This is a summer home of quite a 
number of Bostonians, who admire its 
streets, shaded by tine old trees, and its 
many charming drives. Here is a statue 
of John A. Andrew. In the South Hing- 
ham burial-ground is a renowned mag- 
nolia tree. (Hingham is 17 miles from 
Boston, on the Old Colony Railway.) 

Hough's Neck (or Bayside Park) 
lies north of Germantown, Quincy. It is 
reached by a three-mile carriage road 
from Quincy on the Old Colony Railway. 
As a place for summer residence, owing 
to its comparatively isolated situation 
and the superb views in every direction, 
it is coming to be regarded as one of the 
most desirable in the vicinity of the city. 

Hull. George S. Hillard compared 
Nantasket and Hull to the Lido of Venice ; 
but it was hardly fair toward Hull, say 
travellers. At Hull is the Hotel Pember- 
ton, an imposing structure of Queen 
Anne architecture, and with spacious 
piazzas, band-stand, etc. The views from 
the Pemberton are extremely beautiful, 
in whatever direction one may look. The 
pier of the steamboat line is near the 
hotel, as is also the station of the Nantas- 
ket Beach Railway. Many passengers 
going to Nantasket leave tlie steamer at 
Hull and proceed the rest of the way by 
rail, thus giving the trip a pleasing 
variety. (For Hull take steamers at 
Rowe's wharf, — 340 Atlantic Avenue — 
seven times each way daily. See time- 
table in daily papers. Street-cars to 
Rowe's wharf from head of Franklin 
Street. Rail all the tvay from Boston to 
Hull on Old Colony and Nantasket Beach 
Railways). 

Jerusalem Road. (See Nantas- 
ket). 

Marshfield. 

O the sea, the sea! 
And Marshfield. 

Daxiel Webster. 

Small wonder that the great statesman, 
amid the cares of public life at Washing- 
ton or his oflice duties in Boston, sighed 
for a glimpse of the spot he held dearer 
than all, his seaside summer home at 
Mai'shfield. This is a very pleasant old 
town, and one will feel Avell repaid for a 
visit. Here was for many years the home 
of the late Adelaide Phillipps. (Marsh- 
field is reached by trains on the Old 
Colony Railway. It is 34 miles from Bos- 
ton.) 



NAU-NAN 



Nahant. Longfellow — who had a 
summer residence here — sang : 

*' Till my soul is full of longing 
For the secret of the sea, 
And the heart of the great ocean 
Sends a thrilling pulse through me." 

Lady Mary A^ ortley Montague wrote: 
" In returning through the harbor of 
Boston from Nahant we were full of ad- 
miration of its scenery; the many lovely 
islands with which it is beautifully stud- 
ded, and the superb view of Boston 
itself, so nobly surmounted by its ci*own- 
like State House, enchanted us." Na- 
hant was the summer home of Agassiz 
and Frescott, as well as of Longfellow. 
At Nahant are some most attractive 
localities. For one who likes to see the 
breaking waves dash high, there is no 
place near the city more picturesque nor 
beautiful. (One can go direct by steam- 
boat from India Wharf — 288 Atlantic av. 
— or by rail to Lynn, by Eastern or Re- 
vere Beach Railways, thence to Nahant 
by coach.) 

Nantasket Beach. Peter Pere- 
grine wrote: "The Nantasket Beach is 
the most beautiful one I ever saw. It 
sweeps round in a majestic curve, which, 
if it were continued so as to complete 
the circle, would of itself embrace a small 
sea. There was a gentle breeze upon the 
water, and the sluggish waves rolled in- 
ward with an languid movement, and 
broke, with a low murmur of music, in 
long lines of foam against the opposing 
sands. The surface of the sea was — in 
every direction — thickly dotted with 
sails, the air was of a delicious tempera- 
ture, and altogether it was a scene to 
detain one for hours." His pen-picture 
of this delightful resort will find instant 
appreciation in the minds of all who 
have ever sojourned at this celebrated 
beach, although since it was written the 
surroundings upon the shore have 
vastly changed. Palatial hotels have 
been built, avenues have been laid out, 
and the former deserted rocky headlands 
are fast assuming the appearance of a 
summer city by the sea. For those of 
New England — and New York State also 
furnishes its quota — who really desire 
" a day at the beach," Nantasket offers 
the desired attractions. Here is a wide, 
hard, smooth beach, almost as even as 
a floor, seven miles in length, and SAvccp- 
ing in most graceful lines, with facilities 
for driving, Avalking, bathing, etc.. that 
no beach on the coast can surpass. 
Above all, the adjoining shore is not a 
flat, tame, uninteresting waste of land, 
but consists largely of lofty, rugged, 
rocky headlands, rising majestically 
from the sea, and surmounted with 
Structures of various styles of architec- 
ture. Along the Jerusalem road are 
scenes of the greatest beauty and pic- 
turesqueness, the waters surging in 
Bmong the rocks in great masses of foam- 



ing surf, and casting showers of spark- 
ling spray into the air. In a few moments 
after arriving at the beach one can by 
taking a Jerusalem road coach find as 
much seclusion as may be desired. But 
to the hundreds of thousands of people 
who run down to Nantasket for a few 
hours, or a few days, during the summer, 
the bustle of the great hotels, the ex- 
citement of the promenades, the quick- 
ening pulse which stirs great throngs of 
humanity, the music of the bands, the 
dinner, the plunge into the high-rolling 
surf, the various games, etc., are more 
tempting than the retirement to more 
secluded spots. The beach ordinarily 
presents the appearance of a town on a 
grand holiday; flags are flying, music 
fills the air, crowds of people arrayed in 
fine clothes are promenading, merry 
laughter comes from various cafes where 
numerous parties are partaking of a 
genuine old-fashioned clam-bake or a 
" fish dinner; " there are aquariums, mer- 
ry-go-rounds, miniature elevated-railways, 
skating-rinks, Punch-and-Judy shows; 
peddlers of whips, toy-balloons, peanuts, 
pop-corn, lemonade; dime museums of 
five-legged heifers, fat women, circus- 
acrobats, and altogether one gets the 
impression that a Fourth-of-July cele- 
bration has been transferred here from 
Boston Common. The great Hotel Nan- 
tasket, situated directly upon the beach, 
with its grand covered promenades, 
piazzas, band-stand, etc., is the central 
l)oint where gather the bulk of day 
excursionists, most of whom scarcely 
leave the immediate vicinity until they 
take the steamer for the return trip to 
the city. At a short distance, upon an 
elevation giving a superb panoramic 
view of land and sea, is the noted Rock- 
land House, a favorite summer home of 
representatives of Boston's fashionable 
circles. Rooms here are in such great 
demand that early application is neces- 
sary in order to secure them. Both of 
these grand hotels are under the efficient 
management of Russell & Sturgis, who 
have won the gratitude of thousands of 
patrons for the acceptable manner in 
which they have administered to the 
comfort and pleasure of all who have 
come within their care. These gentle- 
men deserve all the popularity they have 
gained, and that their success increases 
irom year to year is but a deserved 
tribute. The rapid development of the 
resources of this great pleasure-resort 
during the past few years is largely due 
to the enterprise, foresight and pro- 
gressiveness of these popular hosts. The 
Atlantic House is beautifully located 
upon a high bluff, and is abundantly pat- 
ronized. Scores of other hotels, cafes, 
etc., have been built along the beach and 
upon the highlands, all ot which seem to 
be prosperous. The editor of a New 
York newspaper writes thus of this re- 
sort: " Bostonians are justly proud of 
Nantasket Beach, where one can get cul-

tured clams, intellectual chowder, refined 
lager, and very scientific pork and 
beans. It is far superior, however, to our 
monotonous sand-beach (Coney Island) 
in its picturesqueness of natural beauty, 
in the American character of the visi- 
tors, in the reasonableness of hotel 
charges, and the excellence of the ser- 
vice. This is_a pretty plain statement of 
simple facts. '(To reach Nantasket take 
steamers leaving Rowe's Wharf— 340 
Atlantic Avenue — eight times, each way, 
daily. See time-table in daily papers. 
Fare, 25 cents each way. Street-cars for 
Rowe's Wharf leave head of Franklin 
Street, corner of Washington Street, 
every few minutes. Persons going to 
Hotel Pemberton or Oregon House, Hull, 
take the same steamers. Those who pre- 
fer to go to Xantasket by rail, will find 
frequent trains on the Old Colony Rail- 
way to Hingham, thence by Nantasket 
Beach Railway). 

Oak Island, a resort on Revere 
Beach. 

Ocean Spray, in the town of 
Winthrop is located this popular and 
rapidly-growing summer resort. The 
beach is a very good one for bathing. 
There are several excellent hotels, the 
Shirley, the Hotel St. Leonards, etc. 
Numerous well-known actors and ac- 
tresses have summer homes here, among 
them J. B. Mason, N. C. Goodwin, jr., H. 
E. Dixey, George W. Wilson, Jacques 
Kruger, W. F. Owen, James Nolan, Geo. 
Fortescue, Mrs. Octavia Allen, INIiss 
Eleanor Cary and others. (Ocean Spray 
is reached by Boston, Revere Beach iSc 
Lynn Railway — 340 Atlantic Avenue — 
changing at Winthrop Junction. Cars 
run late at night, giving one facilities lor 
getting home after the theatre). 



Point Allerton. Adjoining Hull. 
Named for Isaac Allerton (agent of the 
Massachusetts Bay Colony), who came 
over in the." Mayflower." 



Point of Pinesc

Pemberton. (See Hull). 

Plymouth. 

•' The hill of hallowed brow 
Where the Pilgrim sleepeth now." 
Every visitor to Boston should, if possi- 
ble, make a pilgrimage to Plymouth 
Rock. Here is a quaint and beautiful old 
town. It is said that at least twenty-five 
thousand persons visit Plymouth every 
summer. Here is the historic rock upon 
which the Pilgrims landed; Pilgrim Hall, 
in which are many memorials of the fore- 
fathers (including Governor Carver's 
chair. Miles Standish's sword, etc.); the 
Pilgrim National Monument, surmounted 
by a gigantic ideal statue of "Faith"; 
the old Burying Hill; numerous old 
houses, some of them built previous to 
1680; and various other objects of inter- 
est. There is a fine hotel here, the Clif- 
ford. (Plymouth is reached by the Old 
Colony Railway. It is 37 miles from Bos- 
ton. There are frequent steamboat ex- 
cursions to this town during the summer.) 



Point Shirley. In the town of 
Winthrop. A very i)leasant resort. Here 
is Taft's Hotel, the most famous sea-side 
game-dinner house in the United States. 
Every known variety of fish, bird, etc., in 
its season is pretty sure to be found here. 
The wondeiful extent of its larder and 
the rare excellence of its cookery have 
carried the fame of Taft's almost every, 
where. The marine views from Point 
Shirley are grand. (Take Boston, Revere 
Beach and Lynn Railway — 340 Atlantic 
Avenue — changing cars at Winthrop 
Junction.) 

Revere Beach. One of the most 
famous resorts on the Atlantic coast is 
Revere (or Chelsea) Beach, which can be 
reached in twenty minutes from Boston. 
This beach was not largely visited by Bos- 
tonians until after the building of the Bos- 
ton, Revere Beach and Lynn Narrow-gauge 
Railway (through the efforts of A. P. 
Blake), which runs directly along the 
edge of the beach, giving the passenger 
a most charming panorama all along the 
route. The shore has been rapidly and 
ahnost completely covered with hotels, 
cafes, bathing establishments, etc., so 
that it forms nearly a continuous street 
from Chelsea to Point of Pines. AVin- 
tlirop, Beachmont and Crescent Beach 
are becoming thickly populated sections, 
and there have been many pretty cot- 
tages erected, some of the owners resid- 
ing here throughout the year. Facilities 
for enjoying fishing, boating, bathing, 
dancing, band concerts, etc., are numer- 
ous, and almost innumerable throngs — 
especially on Sundays and holidays — 
crowd all means of transit to this beach. 
Among the special attractions here are 
the Italian restaurants, where one can 
find such cooking of macaroni, spaghetti 
or vermicelli as would tempt the palate of 
the most fastidious epicure; many places 
where may be had a regular iish (or 
"shore") dinner, with all the "fixins," for 
the moderate sum of half a dollar; while 
here and there may be found establish- 
ments dear to the heart of many a 
hungry Yankee where baked beans are 
dispensed; to say nothing of the numer- 
ous houses where genuine clam-bakes are 
provided, smoking hot from the heated 
stones and sea^veed, with all the accom- 
paniments of green corn, melted butter 
and watermelons, concluding with the 
ubiquitous pie, selected from an inde- 
scribable variety. Here, also, may be had 
fish or clam chowder, in its perfection. 
Proceeding to the farther end of the 
beach we arrive at the celebrated resort,

SAG-WIX 



the Point of Pines, the fame of which 
has reached the greater portion of the 
country, judging from the sections f rona 
■whi('h come many of the guests of the 
great Hotel I'incs, one of the largest and 
most elegant summer liotels in the United 
States. Here is also the Goodwood, an- 
other noted hotel; and numerous cafes. 
The extensive grounds are laid out in the 
most beautiful forms of modern land- 
scape gardening, with lawns, flowers, 
etc., and, at nightfall, when the numer- 
ous arches of globes are illuminated, and 
the electric lights are displayed, the 
scene is one of great beauty and bril- 
liancy. Concerts of band music are pro- 
vided, and there are numerous other 
great attractions. The scene on the grand 
piazzas of the Hotel Pines during a band 
concert on almost any afternoon is an 
animated and most attractive one. 
Throii}!:h tlie able management of Charles 
H. Thayer the Point of Pines has become 
one of the great popular summer resorts 
of the country. (Trains for Revere Beach 
leave the station of the P., P. B. & L. R. R. 
— 340 Atlantic av. — generally on every 
even hour of the day. Horse cars from 
head of Franklin St. run to the Railway 
station. Horse cars run to Revere Beach 
from Cornhill.) 

Sagamore Hill. At Nantasketis 
the famous Sa}:j:amore Hill, where once 
the Indians dwelt, and held their councils. 
The wigwam of a sachem was here, and 
the savage court was held where now the 
picnickers spread their dinner-cloth. 

Scituate. 

" How dear to my heart are the scenes of 
mv childhood, 

When fond recollection presents them 
to view; 

The orchard, the meadow, the deep-tan- 
gled wikUvood, 

And every loved spot that my infancy 
knew." 

Thus sang Samuel "Woodworth in his 
familiar poem, " The Old Oaken Bucket," 



the scene of which, in this old town, is 
visited by many, (Scituate is on the Old 
Colony Railway, 26 miles from Boston.) 

Skull Head. A locality at Nantas- 
ket. So called from the fact that many 
human bones have here been found from 
time to time, together with tomahawks, 
arrowheads, etc., indicating that here the 
Indians fought their enemies, the Tarra- 
tines. 

Strawberry Hill. Between Hull 
and Nantasket lies Strawberry Hill, a 
popular resort. Here is the Sea Foam 
House. Numerous private residences 
have been erected here. It may be reached 
by leaving the steamer at Pemberton and 
taking the train on the Nantasket Beach 
Railway. 

Sunny Side, it is here that the 
celebrated Yokes Family make their 
summer home while in America. (See 
Winthrop). 

Swampscott. One of the most fash- 
ionable resorts of wealthy Bostonians. 
Here are a number of excellent hotels. 
Swampscott is said to be "the coolest 
place on the entire North Shore." (On 
the Eastern Railway, 12 miles from Bos- 
ton). 

Winthrop. This beautiful penin- 
sula, having less than one thousand acres 
in area, has more than eight miles of 
beach. It has several pretty and thriving 
settlements; Ocean Spray, Point Shirley, 
Sunnyside, Great Head, Cottage I'afk 
and Crystal Bay. Here Garibaldi so- 
journed for some time, in 1853; and 
Agassiz was no stranger to Winthrop's 
gi'eat natural beauties. To give some 
idea of the advance of the price of real 
estate here, it may be stated that in 1875 
land on the present site of Ocean Spray 
was valued at but f35an acre. (To reach 
Winthrop take Boston, Revere Beach and 
Lynn Railway, at 340 Atlantic Avenue).

There is certainly no greater pleasure 
to the weary citizen on a hot afternoon 
than that afforded by a sail down the 
harbor of Boston, renowned the world 
over for its beauty, the number and size 
of its islands, its majestic fortresses, its 
bold headlands and magnificent views. 
Those who take excursions on sluggish, 
muddy rivers, through a tame, flat, unin- 
teresting region, cannot realize the gran- 
deur and beauty, the inspiriting, invigor- 
ating recreation that comes from a real 
visit to Old Neptune. Poets, authors and 
artists have combined to sound the praises 
of the beauties of Boston Harbor, but the 
half has not been sung nor told. Howells, 
the famous novelist, writes of it thus: 
" A light breeze ruffled the surface of the 
bay, and the innumerable little sail-boats 
that dotted it took the sun and wind upon 
their wings, which they dipped almost 
into the sparkle of the water, and flew 
lightly hither and tliither like gulls that 
loved the brine too well to rise wholly 
from it. Larger ships, farther or nearer, 



puffed or shrank their sails as they came 
or went on the errands of commerce, but 
always moved as if bent uiion some 
dreamy aflair of pleasure; the steam- 
boats that shot vehemently across their 
tranquil courses seemed only gayer and 
vivider visions, but not more substantial. 
Yonder a black sea-going steamer passed 
out between the far-oil islands, and at 
last left in the sky above those reveries 
of fortification, a whiff of sombre smoke, 
dark and unreal as a memory of battle. 
. . . The steamships of many coast- 
lines gloom, with their black, capacious 
hulks, among the lighter sailing-craft, 
and among the white, green-shuttered 
passenger-boats; . . . and then, growing 
up from all, rises the mellow-tinted, 
brick-built city, roof, and spire, and 
dome, a fair and noble sight, indeed, 
and one not surpassed for a certain 
cleanly beauty by any that I know." 
Another eminent author, Charles Dudley 
Warner, writes: " What a beautiful har- 
bor it is — everybody says— with its ir- 
regularly indented shores and its islands ! 
The day is simply delicious when Ave get 
away from the unozoned air of the land. 
The sky is cloudless, and the water spark- 
les like the top of a glass of champagne." 



FORTS IN THE HARBOR. 



Fort Independence. About two 
and one-half miles from the city (and only 
nine hundred yards from City Point, 
South Boston) stands majestic Fort Inde- 
pendence, of stone, erected on the site of 
Castle William. It is a fortress worthy of 
the name. Each of its five sides is guard- 
ed by bastions and flank defences, with 
howitzers of large size, in casemates, and 
on the barbettes are fifteen-inch Rodman 
guns. It has spacious quarters for gar- 
rison, storehouses, bakeries, rooms for 
ordnance, etc. Here, on Castle Island, 
has been a harbor defence for more than 
two hundred and fifty years, being the 
oldest military i)ost held regularly for 
purposes of defence in the United States. 
The history of this great fort is an inter- 
esting one. 

Fort Warren. On Georges Island, 
about six miles from the city, is Fort 
Warren, the great fortress which has 
been called "the key of Boston Harbor." 
The first fortifications here were raised 
in 1778. The present fort, the construc- 
tion of Avhich was begun in 1833 and fin- 
ished in 1850, was built ujjon plans mod- 



elled upon those of the best fortresses of 
Europe. In 1861 the Webster Regiment 
encamped here. During the Civil War, 
after the " Merrimac " had begun its 
raids, the Government at Washington 
(hearing that a gentleman named Davis, 
in the South, had threatened, at Atlanta, 
to send several cruisers, among them the 
" Alabama," into Boston Harbor, to bom- 
bard the city of Phillips, Sumner and 
Garrison, " the hot-bed of anti-slavery") 
commanded Governor John A. Andrew 
to close up the entrance of the harbor by 
sinking there the hulks of vessels. This 
was not done, although other equally 
effective plans for defending the city 
were arranged. It was in the spring of 
18C1, at Fort Warren, that " Glory, glory, 
hallelujah! " — 

•'John Brown's body lies a mouldering in 
the grave. 
His soul is marching on! " 

was composed and first sung. The glee 
club of the Second Battalion light infan- 
try were the first to sing it. The music 
was slightly varied from an old hymn- 
tune. The Twelfth Massachusetts Regi- 
ment, marching through Boston, com-

bined their thousand voices in a grand 
chorus,and the arniy-sonsi; was then for the 
first time heard in the streets of any city. 
They afterwards sang it in New York and 
Baltimore, and regiment after regiment 
took it up until it swept through the en- 
tire army. It has well been called " the 
Marseillaise of the Rebellion." At this 
famous fortress, during the Civil War, 
were imiirisoned hundreds of disloyal 
officers and civilians, (ien. Burns'ide 
alone sent eight hundred confederates 
here. Among the prisoners at the " Bos- 
ton Bastille," as it was termed, were Al- 
exander H. Stephens, " Vice-President of 
the Confederate States," who was a guest 
for five months ; Major General Edward 
Johnson, Generals Gordon, Marmaduke, 
Jackson, Smith (T. B.), Trimble, Johnson, 
Hunton, Kershaw, Barton, Corse, Simms; 
Mason and Slidell, the Confederate 
agents; Harry Gilmour, Commodore 
Tucker, the officers and crews of the pri- 



vateers, "Atlanta "and "Tacony," and 
numerous others. (A United States Steam- 
boat makes several trips, each way, every 
day, between Central Wharf and Fort 
Warren). 



Fort Winthrop. Governor's Is- 
land. In 1096 batteries were erected here. 
The construction of the present fortress 
was begun previous to the Civil War. 
The United States Government has here 
built enormous military defences, at an 
immense outlay. Underneath the appar- 
ently innocent tufted mounds are con- 
structed vast subterranean arched pas- 
sages, massive batteries, etc., while the 
citadel, a gigantic, earth-covei-ed granite 
stronghold, shows merely its top above 
the mounds. This is really the strongest 
fortification in the harbor, pro])ably, 
although presenting the least indications 
to that cllect. 



ISLANDS IN THE HARBOR. 



As there are more than fifty islands 
in Boston Harbor, we have not the space 
to describe them, but will mention some 
of the larger and best known. Long 
Island is about five miles from the city. 
Here are eartliworks for defence, a light- 
house, the light of which can be seen 
fifteen miles out. There are here colonies 
of Portuguese fishermen. Castle Island, 
upon which is Fort Independence; Gov- 
ernor's Island, with its Fort Winthrop; 
Georges Island, where is located Fort 



Warren; Thompson's Island, Spectacle 
Island, Lovell's Island, Gallop's Island, 
Deer Island, where Boston's House of 
Reformation, the House of Industry and 
the Almshouse are located ; Ward's Island, 
belonging to Harvard University; Little 
Brewster, on which is Boston Light; 
Great Brewster, where Bug Light is situ- 
ated; Lovell's Island, Calf Island, Green 
Island, Moon Island, Rainsford Island, 
Pcddock Island, Apple Island, Snake 
Island, etc.

Its fluctuations and its vast concerns." 

— COWPER. 

(This department of the Cyclopedia of 
Boston has been arranged upon the plan 
of Charles Dickens' Dictionaries of Lon- 
don anel Paris, the accuracy and value of 
which the writer of this work has prac- 
tically tested during his visits to those 
cities). 

Abattoir. (See Brighton Abattoir). 

Academy of Arts and Scien- 
ces, American. (1780). lOR Beacon 
Street. One of the oldest and most noted 
societies in existence for the promotion 
of scientific knowledge. 

Acme Club. (See Dining Clubs). 

Adams House. (1883). 553 Wash- 
ington Street. This renowned hotel 
stands on the site of the former Adams 
House, l)ut greatly surpasses it in size, 
magnificence and luxurious furnishings. 
Here once stood the old Lamb Tavern, a 
famous hostelry of provincial days, from 
which several stage lines started. In 1767, 
in the month of July, the Boston and 
Providence Stage line was established, 
with the Lamb Tavern as the Boston ter- 
minus. This tavern was of wood, two 
stories in height, with a swing-sign, upon 
which was painted a white lamb. The 
present Adams House is seven stories 
high in front and eight stories in the 
rear. The front is of white marble, with 
polished red granite pillars and trim- 
mings. It has three entrances from 
Washington Street. Its grand, lofty hall 
is brilliantly illuminated at nicht with 
incandescent electric lights, the cafe, 
for ladies and gentlemen, is ninety feet 
in length and nineteen feet high, and 
is decorated in the most elegant stvle. 
There are about 300 rooms for guests, the 
prices for which range from $1 per day 
upwards. The hotel is kept on the Eu- 
ropean plan. George G. Hall (formerly 
of Hall & Whipple) is the Proprietor. 



Aiding Discharged Convicts. 

(18-40). The Massachusetts Society for aid- 
ing discharged convicts is doing a noble 
work. There is every reason to believe that 
were it not for this kindly helping hand 
extended to those who find it difticult to 
obtain employment after coming out of 
prison, crime woule be largely increased. 
Charles Sumner was one of the founders 
of the Society. Office at 35 Avon Street. 

AUandale Spring. A noted re- 
sort in Jamaica Plain, West Roxbury 
District. 

Almshouses. The Directors of 
Public Institutions have four almshouses 
under their control. Office 30 Pemberton 
Square. These almshouses are as fol- 
lows : Rainsf ord Island, (Boston Harbor), 
for male paupers; Deer Island, (Boston 
Harbor), for women and children; Austin 
Farm, (West Roxbury District), for aged 
women; Charlestown Neck, for residents 
of the Charlestown District. 

Amateur Dramatic Societies. 

In Boston and vicinity there are quite a 
number of societies of young persims as- 
l^iring to Thespian honors, among the 
most prominent being the " Footlight 
Club, of Brookline. Charlestown District 
has an Amateur Opera Club, the members 
of which possess an unusual amount of 
ability. 

Amateur Photography is one 

of the most popular occupations for many 
ladies and gentlemen, whose leisure hour's 
are thus,einployed. Outfits may be ob- 
tained of the Various dealers in photo- 
graph apparatus. 

Ambulance Service. The am- 
bulance system of Boston is arranged in 
the most comprehensive and perfect man- 
ner. Under the control of two great hos- 
pitals— the Massachusetts and City — the 
former looking after the sections of the 
city north of Berkeley and Dover Streets, 
and the latter covering the territory 
south of that line. Applications may be 
made at the nearest police station.

AME— AKC 



American Board of Commis- 
sioners for Foreign Missions. 

(1810). 7 Beacon Street. 

American House. (1835). 56 
Hanover Street. This is one of the oldest, 
largest and most popular hotels of Boston. 
The present great building covers the 
sites of the old and renowned Merchants' 
Hotel, Hanover House, and also that once 
occupied by the residence of General 
Joseph Warren. The grand, spacious 
hall of the hotel is very attractive, and 
l^resents a busy scene when thronged by 
merchants from the West and South who 
make their home at the American while 
in Boston. Here, in the evening, after 
dinner, before attending any of the vari- 
ous theatres and other places of amuse- 
ment, there is the appearance of a vast 
exchange, where representatives of every 
section of the country assemble to com- 
pare notes as to the condition of business 
in their respective cities. The American 
is kept on the good, old-fashioned Ameri- 
can plan; its table is noted for being 
lavishly supplied with every substantial 
article of food as w^ell as with every deli- 
cacy that its experienced chefenn devise • 
its rooms are large, airy and provided 
with most luxurious furnishings; and 
everything that can in the least conduce 
to the comfort or convenience of its 
numerous guests is provided. It was the 
first hotel to furnish a passenger-elevator 
for the use of patrons. The American 
holds a foremost position among the 
great first-class hotels of the United 
States, and will continue so to do while 
the enterprising, liberal and experienced 
proprietors who now manage it shall con- 
trol its fortunes. Henry B. Rice & Co. 
conduct the hotel. 



American Peace Society. 

(1828). 7 Beacon Street. 

Amusements. The places of 
amusement in Boston are numerous, and 
one's taste must indeed be difficult to 
please if the many entertainments pro- 
vided do not offer something attractive. 
The reader will find in the departments 
of this work devoted to Places of Jmuse- 
viput, Museiims and Exhihitio'ns, Smn- 
mpr Gardens, etc., full particulars of the 
amusements furnished in what the ma- 
jority of managers term, in the parlance 
of tlieir profession, " the best show town 
in the country." 

Ancient and Honorable Ar- 
tillery. (ini^S). Annorj^ at Fancnil 
Hall. This is the oldest military company 
in the XJnited States. Its annual parade 
takes place on the first Monday in June, 
when the company listens to a sermon, 
has a grand dinner at Faneuil Hall, 
thence proceeding to the Common, where 



the Governor of the State delivers their 
commissions to the newly-elected officers.

Apartment Houses. Family 
Hotels or French Flats were first intro- 
duced into America in 1859. The first 
apartment hotel to l)e constructed in the 
XJnited States was the Hotel Pelham, at 
the corner of Tremont and Boylston 
Streets, in Boston. (See complete list of 
Apartment Hotels.) 

Architecture. Boston is the finest 
city, architecturally, considered as a 
whole, in the United States. AVashing- 
ton has grand public buildings, other 
cities have handsome structures ; but the 
general diffusion of good architectural 
models in Boston gives a better average 
of strength and beauty as prevailing 
characteristics than can be found else- 
where in the country. Whether one 
visits the rebuilt "burnt district," where 
miles of magnificent and substantial 
business structures have been erected, or 
the famous Back Bay residential quarter, 
where hundreds of the most palatial 
dwellings of Boston's "merchant prin- 
ces " have been constructed, the fair- 
minded will admit that there is no city 
in America that can in this respect equal 
the "Modern Athens." Among the 
structures which excite the surprise and 
admiration of visitors from foreign 
shores are the Museum of Fine Arts 
Building, Trinity Church, the New Old 
South Church, State Street Block, the 
Brattle Church (with its Bartholdi bas- 
reliefs) and many others. Good examples 
of the Greek school are St. Paul's Church, 
the Custom House, Quiney Market, Court 
House. Of the Italian Renaissance school 
are the Boston Athena'um and Boston 
Museum, while the French Renaissance 
has notable examples in the City Hall, 
the Post-Office, Horticultural Hall, etc. 
Of the Modern Gothic type, the Museum 
of Fine Arts and the Boston and Provi- 
dence Railway Station are conspicuous. 
The Cathedral of the Holy Cross is a 
grand example of the Mediaeval Gothic 
style. 

Arch^ray Bookstore. De Wolfe, 
Fiskc & Co. 3G5 Washington Street. A 
very popular bookstore.

Area of Boston. The present 
area of the city is 23,661 acres, or 36.7 
square miles, this being thirty times as 
large as its original area. 

Armstrong Transfer Com- 
pany. The introduction of this con- 
venient and care-saving arrangement, in 
1882, was a great boon to travellers. The 
system is a model one. Its safety, prompt- 
ness, and efficiency combine to make it 
one of the greatest helps to those who 
wish to have their baggage properly 
looked after. The general office of the 
company, at 111 Arch Street, is connected 
by telephone and private wires with the 
various railway stations, hotels, etc. 
Any one wishing the services of the com- 
pany has simply to give an order, and 
carriages and baggage-wagons are at 
once sent to any residence, hotel or busi- 
ness office in the city, for the conveyance 
of passengers or luggage to any railway 
station or steamboat pier. Passengers on 
inward bound railway trains or steamers 
can also check their baggage for delivery 
in any section of the city. The system is 
coming to be generally adopted by all 
travellers as it should be. Edward A. 
Taft is general manager; Fred S. Leon- 
ard, superintendent. 

Art. Boston is a great art-centre. 
Its notable Museum of Fine Arts, a mag- 
nificently-equipped collection, comparing 
well with those of Europe, and hav- 
ing the largest and finest exhibition of 
casts in the country; its many other gal- 
leries; its Normal School of Art; Cowles 
Art School, School of Sculpture, John 
Lowell School of Design, Society of Dec- 
orative Art, Art Clubs, etc., and its 
numerous resident artists, with their 
classes, combine to give the city an artis- 
tic atmosphere of genuine value, instead 
of the superficial, meretricious, and spec- 
ulative aspect so conspicuous in some 
sections of our country. Boston works 
in Art — as in Literature and Music — 
quietly, unobtrusively, steadily and jjro- 
gressively, without sensationalism or 
ostentation, in this respect emulating the 
example of the art-centres of the Old 
AVorld, where culture is deep, wide-spread 
and lasting. (See Colleges and Schools, 
Exhibitions, Art Galleries, Artists, Art 
Clubs, etc). 

Associated Press, in 1849 a 
number of daily and weekly newspapers 
combined to obtain telegraphic news, and 
to divide the expense between them. Ko 
new papers are admitted to the privileges 
of the association. 

Athletics. There are a great many 
gentlemen in and around Boston who are 
deeply interested in Athletics. There are 
numerous organizations for promoting 
i:>hysical health, among them the Boston 



Athletic Club, the Irish Athletic Club, 
the Cribb Club, etc. (See Ilecreatioii 
Clubs). 

Back Bay. This is the ugly name 
that has fasttmed itself upon the most 
aristocratic quarter of the city, although 
the section is now called " New West 
End" by many. This district is bounded 
by Charles River, Arlington Street, the 
Boston & Providence Railway and West 
Chester Park Street. The territory is 
what is known as " made land," having 
been reclaimed from the water of the 
original bay by being filled in with gravel. 
Among the most expensive and beautiful 
structures in this quarter are the JVIuseum 
of Fine Arts, the Boston Art-Club House, 
Trinity Church, the New Old South 
Church, the First Spiritual Temple, the 
Arlington Street Church, the First Bap- 
tist Society Church, the Young Men's 
Christian Association Building, the Cen- 
tral Church, Notre Dame Academy, the 
great Mechanics' Exhibition Building, 
the Natural History Society Building, 
Institute of Technology Building, Chil- 
dren's Hospital, Chauncy-Hall School, 
Prince School, Hollis Church, Harvard 
Medical School, Massachusetts Bicycle 
Club House, the Hotels Agassiz, Berkeley, 
Bristol, Brunswick, Cluny, Copley, Guild- 
ford, Hamilton, Harold, Huntington, 
Kempton, Victoria, Vendome, Westland, 
etc. (This district is reached by the 
Clarendon and Vendome lines of Back 
Bay cars, also by the Huntington Avenue 
and Dartmouth Street lines). 

Base Ball. (See Recreation Clubs). 

Baths. The city is well provided 
with bathing establishments. Turkish, 
Russian, Roman, Electric, and Sulphur 
baths are to be had at 17 Beacon Street. 
The Turkish bath was established here by 
Dr. Dio Lewis, some years since, on an 
extensive plan. At 192 Tremont Street 
baths of various kinds are furnished. 
(See Free Baths). 

Battle Flags. (See Exhibition of 
Battle Flags). 

Beautifying Railway Station 
Grounds. Nearly all of the Railway 
lines running out of Boston endeavor to 
make the grounds of their suburban sta- 
tions as attractive as possible. The Old 
Colony Railwav Company in the spring of 
188G had 50,000 "shrubs and plants set out 
along its line. 

Bicycling. Boston is the great bi- 
cycling centre of the country. It has the 
largest clubs, the finest club-houses, the 
best streets and roads for cycling, in the 
world, outside of England, and the most 
general interest in the subject of any city 
in America. , Visitors are amazed at the 



240 



BOA- BOS 



size and importance of cycling organiza- 
tions here, and delighted with the roads. 
The Boston bicyclists sing — with Will 
Carleton— : 

"Oood-morning, fellow- wheelmen— here';:; 

a warm, fraternal hand, 
As, with a rush of victory, we sweep 

across the land! 
If some may be dissatisfied to see the 

way we ride. 
We only wish their majesties could travel 

by our side ! 
For we are pure philanthropists, 
Unqualified philanthropists, 
And would not have this happiness to 

any one denied. 
We claim a great utility that daily must 

increase; 
We claim from inactivity a sensible 

release; 
A constant mental, physical and moral 

help we feel 
That bids us turn enthusiasts, and cry, 

' God bless the wheel! ' " 

The several bicycle clubs of Boston are 
described at length in the department of 
this work devoted to clubs. Many stu- 
dents and professional gentlemen take 
exercise on the bicycle or tricycle, while 
the tricycle is also beginning to be 
largely used by ladies. 

Sorting is a very popular recreation 
with Bostonians. There are various boat 
clubs who make Charles River their scene 
of exercise. (See Clubs). 

Boffin's Bower. One of the 

noblest charities of Boston is known as 
Boffin's Bower. It is located at 1031 
Washington Street. Founded by Miss 
Jennie Collins, in 1870, it has afforded 
assistance to hundreds of working girls, 
who have been furnished with meals, 
lodging, clothing, etc. Employment has 
been secured for many; goodcovmsel — 
legal and otherwise — furnished; a read- 
ing room provided, and many other excel- 
lent features have been in operation. 
Free dinners for working girls are fur- 
nished during the winter. Donations are 
always acceptable. 



Books. Book-publishers and book- 
sellers are very numerous in Boston, as 
would be natural in a great literary cen- 
tre. The only purely "literary magazine 
in America, the Atlantic Monthly, is 
published here. Among the great pub- 
lishers of books in the city are Hough- 
ton, Mifflin & Co., Ticknor & Co., 1). 
I.othrop & Co., Roberts Brothers, Lee & 
Shepard. Little, Brown & Co. and Cup- 
plcs, TTpham & Co. (See Old Corner 
Jiooksfore.) There are a large number of 
booksellers who do not publish, and nu- 
merous antiquarian bookstores. (See 
Old Book Stores.) 



Boston Beacon. A paper issued 
every Saturday morning from 295 Wash- 
ington Street. It is filled to the brim 
with bright, interesting items relating to 
society, books, art, music, drama, etc. 
It contains cartoons satirizing local af- 
fairs. Cyrus A. Page is the publisher. 

Boston Budget. This paper, is- 
sued on Sunday morning, is one of the 
brightest and most readable of the week- 
lies. It was established by M. M. Ballou, 
in 1878. It is now published by John D. 
Dwyer. John W. Ryan is the editor and 
dramatic critic. Mr. Ryan is one of our 
most exi)erienced and ablest journalists, 
and has made the liudget a success. The 
special features of the paper are con- 
tributions by Ben: Perley Foore, enter- 
taining paragraphs and much choice 
miscellany. 

Boston Cab Company. (1885). 

The establishment of the Boston Cab 
Company has worked a complete revolu- 
tion in the public carriage service of the 
city, and the hearty support its projec- 
tors have received augurs well for its 
continuance and still further develoji- 
ment. In place of the dingy vehicles so 
frequently to be seen, the shabby har- 
nesses, and the overworked horses, this 
Company supplies handsome new car- 
riages, comprising coaches, broughams, 
landaus, victorias, coupes, etc., made 
exjjressly for this service, with fine 
horses and equipments; capable and 
polite drivers (wearing dark green coats 
and silk hats, and, in rainy weather, 
white rubber coats and hat covers) ; and 
with carriages brilliantly lighted at 
night, the latter being a great desidera- 
tum with persons who are quite naturally 
afraid of accidents happening in the 
dark, now that so much reckless driving 
of herdics, etc., is permitted. For shop- 
ping, making calls, pleasure-rides, theatre 
and party service, the Boston Cab Com- 
pany furnishes conveyances that are as 
fine as a gentleman's private carriage, at 
very moderate prices. For carrying 
liassengers from one railway station to 
another the rate is only 25 cents for each 
passenger, without baggage. There is 
no charge for hand luggage. The gen- 
eral offices of the r>oston Cab Company 
are at 111 Arch Street. Edward A. 
Taft is President; Fred. S. Leonard, Su- 
I)erintendent. 

Bostonian Society. An organi- 
zation incorporated in 18S1, for the pur- 
pose of promoting the study of the history 
of Boston and the preservation of its 
antiquities. Its rooms are in the Old 
State House. 

.Boston Memorial Associa- 
tion. The avowed objects of this society 
are "the ornamentation of the city of 
Boston, the care of its memorials, the 



BRI-DAI 



241 



f)reservation and improvement of its pub- 
ic grounds, and the erection of works of 
art within the limits of the city." Or- 
ganized in 1880. 

Brighton Abattoir. (1873). 

Brighton District. This Abattoir — mod- 
elled upon those of Paris — is a place 
much visited by those interested. A 
number of large Imildings are devoted to 
the work of slaughtering, and so exten- 
sive and well-arranged are the plans of 
the Association that a thousand sheep 
and over three hundi'ed cattle may easily 
be slaughtered every day. There are 
about fifty atfres of land bordering on 
Charles River, controlled by the company, 
and the tracks of the Boston and Albany 
Kailway and the Fitchburg Railway 
(Watertown branch) run directly to the 
doors of the Abattoir. (To reach the 
Brighton District take street cars from 
Bowdoin Square or Park Square, or steam 
cars on the Boston and Albany Railway). 

Carney Hospital. (1635). Old 
Harbor Street, South Boston. Founded 
by a donation of $14,000 by the late An- 
drew Carney. It is conducted by the 
Sisters of Charity. It is an unsectarian 
institution, patients of all religious be- 
liefs being received. 

Cathedral of the Holy Cross. 

Washington Street, corner of Maiden 
Street. This is a magnificent structure, 
occupying over an acre of land; the 
length of the building is 364 feet; width, 
at the transept, 170 feet, width of nave and 
aisles, 90 feet ; height to ridgepole, 120 
feet. The interior is beautifully and ar- 
tistically finished. 

Charity Bureau. Chardon Street. 

Children, Society for the Pre- 
vention of Cruelty to. l Pember- 
ton Square. 

Chop Houses. Strangers in Bos- 
ton, Englishmen especially, are at once 
impressed with the English aspect of the 
city and the people, and one of their first 
desires is to find a chop-house, " One of 
those snug, quiet little affairs where one 
can get a nice mutton chop cooked in the 
real English style, you know, such as one 
finds at the Criterion, the Gaiety, the 
Holborn, the Horse-Shoe, the Gattl, and 
Spiers & Pond's restaurants in London." 
In addition to the great hotels kept in the 
European style — such as Young's, Par- 
kers, the Adams, etc., where the cooking 
of chops, steaks and meats of all kinds 
is excellent — there are a number of cosy 
restaurants where the serving of chops in 
true English style is made a specialty. 
Among those which have made the great- 
est fame as chop-houses are Park's (Bos- 
worth St.) ; the Coolidge Cafe (Bowdoin 



Square), where patrons can see the chops 
cooked on the silver grill ; Maine's (Hay- 
ward Place) ; Clark's, 543 Washington 
Street; Barrows', 37 Court Street, and 
several other places. Tennyson has im- 
mortalized the chop-house on Fleet Street, 
London, called " The Cock." If music 
be the food of love, chops may have been 
the source of inspiration of some of the 
Laureate's later poems. 

Coasting. There are numerous hills 
in the suburbs where this sport is largely 
indulged in while the snow covers the 
ground. At times there is suflicient 
snow upon the Common to furnish good 
coasting-ground, and then there are some 
lively 'scenes. Bridges are often erected 
over the principal walks temporarily 
monopolized by the coasters. Numerous 
accidents, several of them fatal, have 
happened here to spectators as well as to 
the participants in this dangerous amuse- 
ment. A line of double-runners, packed 
with men and boys, going down one of 
the long inclines of the Common at al- 
most lightning speed is an enlivening 
scene, which is generally witnessed by 
throngs of people. (See Tobogganing.) 

Costly Houses. Among the nu- 
merous expensive private residences in 
Boston are the dwellings at 353 Common- 
wealth Avenue (assessed for $225,000) and 
306 Dartmouth Street (assessed for $210,- 
000). 

Daily Advertiser, (1812). 246 
Washington Street. This is the oldest 
of the daily newspapers of Boston, hav- 
ing been established in 1812. (On the site 
of its former office on Court Street, cor- 
ner of Franklin Avenue, once stood the 
printing ofiice of Benjamin Franklin's 
brother James, where Benjamin himself 
learned his trade, in 1721. Franklin wrote 
the following lines as a warning to visi- 
tors to printing offices : 

" All ye who come this curious art to see. 
To handle anything must careful be; 
Lest by a slight touch, ere you are aware. 
You may do mischief which you can't 

repair. 
Lo ! this advice we give to every stranger: 
Look on, and welcome, but to touch 

there's danger!") 

The Advertiser contained in its first 
number the announcement that the com- 
mercial feature would be predominant, 
although politics would not be ignored. 
The paper has been styled " the Respect- 
able Daily," a compliment it has always 
merited. William E. Barrett is its pres- 
ent able editor. Its dramatic critic is 
Henry A. Clapp, whose criticisms are 
characterized by a refinement, daintiness 
and poetical felicity of expression which 
add largely to the force of the analyti- 
cal and discriminating treatment given 
them. Howard M. Ticknor is the musi- 



242 



DIS-FRE 



cal critic, and his criticisms are written 
in the methods of the true musician and 
scholar. The art, literary and other re- 
views are of a hifrh standard. The Ad- 
vertiser is an excellent newspaper. 

Distances. The length of the city, 
from its southerly to its northerly limits, 
is 11 miles. The width of the city from 
east to west, includinji; the Brighton Dis- 
trict, is 9 miles; the breadth of the busi- 
ness section, from Charles River to the 
Harbor, is 1^ miles. Distances from the 
Old State House, (at the corner of Wash- 
ington and State Streets), to certain 
points, are given as follows: To Asylum 
Street, 1 mile; Canton Street, 1^; Camden 
Street, 2; Cedar Street,3; Egleston Square, 
3^; Green Street, (Jamaica Plain, West 
Roxbury District) 4; Forest Hills, 5; 
Rosliudale,6; Clarendon Hills, 7; Dedham 
line, 9. 

Drama. (See Places of Amusement). 

Drives. The roads about Boston are 
superli for driving. One can go in almost 
any direction and find charming, pictur- 
esque views. The Milldam road leads to 
Longwood, Brookline and Chestnut Hill, 
the favorite suburbs for drives. Other 
roads, through Jamaica Plain, Dorches- 
ter, etc., are also very attractive. 

Electric Lights, now so common, 
were first introduced in 1880, in Scollay 
Square. _ 

European-Plan Hotels. The 

hotels kept on the European plan, of ]iro- 
viding meals and lodgings separately, 
now so numeroi;s in this "country, were 
unknown here until 1855. In that year the 
Parker House, of Boston, was opened, 
and it was the first hotel in the United 
States to be kept on the European plan. 

Executions. All executions are 
now i)rivatoly conducted within the en- 
closure of Charles Street Jail, near the 
foot of Cambridge Street. 

Faneuil Hall. Whittier wrote 

(I844j: 

" Men ! — if manhood still ye claim. 

If the Northern pulse can thrill. 
Roused by wrong or stung by shame. 

Freely, strongly still, — 
Let the sounds of traffic die : 

Shut the mill-gate,— leave the stall,— 
Fling the axe and hammer by,— 

Throng to Faneuil Hall! 

# * * # # 

Up, and tread beneath your feet 

Every cord by party s'pun: 
Let your hearts together beat 

As the heart of one. 
Banks and tarilfs, stocks and trade. 

Let them rise or let them fall : 
Freedom asks your common aid, — 

Up, to Faneuil Hall! " 



The old Cradle of Liberty is still rocked 
whenever there is any question of great 
public interest at issue. Here, where 
freedom was nurtured; where, during the 
Rebellion, the people assembled to teke 
counsel together, and to listen to burning 
words of eloquence from the statesmen 
who quickened the love of every true 
American for ♦• one fiag and an undivided 
country," are still to be seen Pilgrims 
from every State and every land, who 
seem to feel that it is a privilege to stand 
within this historic old landmark which 
connects the i)ast with the present. 

Foot Ball. There ^re several Foot 
Ball Teams in Boston and vicinity, among 
them being the Institute of Terhnology 
Team; the Harvard Team, Cambridge'; 
the Roxbury Latin School Team, Bost<m 
Highlands. The Rugby game was intro- 
duced in 1876. Interest in this exhilarat- 
ing game increases with every season. 

Free Band Concerts. During 
the summer months concerts of band 
music are given upon the Common and 
other public grounds, on Sunday after- 
noons and on week-day evenings. Full 
particulars as to dates, time of beginning, 
programs, etc., are to be found in the 
daily newspapers. 

Free Country Week. Under the 
management of the Young Men's Chris- 
tian Union, 18 Boylston Street, about 3,000 
poor children of Boston are sent into 
pleasant New England country towns for 
a week's vacation. In 1855 a Vermont 
farmer took three of these poor city 
children into his family for a week. The 
farmer and his wife became interested 
in the children, visited their poverty- 
stricken home in Boston, and have since 
invited not only all the children but the 
poor mother to be their guests for the 
" Country Week." 

Free Day Excursions. The City 
Missionary S<jciety, 19 Congregational 
House, (1 Somerset Street) provides free 
horse-car tickets, harbor-steamboat tick- 
ets and day excursions to the i)oor. In 
1880, a gentleman sent ii;20 to this Society 
to give free open-horse-car rides to the 
poor during that summer. 200 persons 
were thus enabled to enjoy a ride into the 
suburbs. In 1885, 23,530 street-car rides 
were given to the poor, 3,509 harbor- 
steamboat tickets were distributed, and 
4,G90 enjoyed a day's vacation in the 
country. 

Free Dispensaries. There are 
several Disy)ensaries for free medical 
treatment for those without means to 
consult other physicians. Among them 
are the Boston Dispensary, Bennet St., 
cor. Ash St.; Boston Homeopathic Dis- 
pensary, East Concord st. ; Dispensary, 
Charity Building, Chardon St.; Dispen- 



FRE-FUL 



243 



sary, 14 Burroughs pi.; Charlestown Free 
Dispensary, 27 Harvard sq., Cliarlestown. 

Free Excursions for Poor 
Children are arranged to take place 
durinji the summer vacation of the 
schools. There are eight or ten of these 
excursions to Lake Walden, Concord, 
about a thousand hovs and girls being 
taken at a time. The charity is in the 
hands of a committee, who distribute 
the tickets by having them given out by 
the police to the poor children in their 
respective precincts. This noble charity 
is sustained by private contributions. 
Messrs. Peters & Parkinson, 35 Con- 
gress Street, are the treasurers. 

Free Flowers and Fruit. The 

Boston Flower and Fruit Mission, estab- 
lished in 18(i'.), was the first charity of 
this descriptitm to be organized any- 
where. Miss Helen Tinkhani, while walk- 
ing 'across Boston Common in the year 
named, carrying a bouquet, was asked 
by so large a number of children for 
"'just one flower, please!" that she was 
Inspired with the idea that a Flower 
Mission should be organized. It was 
done, and the beautiful charity has 
groM-n to be a most extensive one. 
Flowers, plants, slips, fruit and vege- 
tables sent to 33 Pleasant Street on ]\Ion- 
day or Thursday between 8 a. m. and 12 
m. (May to October), will be distributed 
to the ill or infirm jioor, to hospitals, 
dispensaries, missions, diet-kitchens, 
work-rooms, school-rooms of the poorer 
districts, etc. Many a sad heart has been 
lightened by a gift of beautiful flowers, 
and many a couch of suffering made to 
seem less painful. 

Free Lectures. Under the aus- 
pices of the Lowell Institute, courses of 
Free Lectures l)y some of the most emi- 
nent men of America and Europe are 
delivered during the winter at Hunting- 
t(m Hall, Technology Building, 191 Boyl- 
ston Street. 

Free Lodgings. Homeless wan- 
derers may find lodgings at Charity 
Building, Chardon Street. It is expected, 
however, that able-bodied applicants will 
render a return for the accommodation 
l>y performing a certain amount of such 
light labor as may be given them, princi- 
pally as a discouragement to vagrancy. 

Freemasonry. (See Orders and 
Secret Societies.) 

Free Musical Instruction. 

The Beneficent Society of the New Eng- 
land Conservatory of Music, 27 East New- 
ton Street, Franklin Square, was organ- 
ized in 1885 for the puri)Ose of assisting 
young women and men without means in 
obtaining a musical education; furnish- 
ing, also, financial help, as Avell as aiding 
them to secure remunerative positions. 



Free Natural History Exhi- 
bition. At Natural History Society 
Building, AV.est Berkeley Street, between 
Boylston and Newbury Streets, on Wed- 
nesday and Saturday afternoons. 

Free Rides. The Young Men's 
Christian Union, 18 Boylston Street, ap- 
plies funds entrusted to its care for the 
purpose of defraying the expense of rides 
lor invalids and poor persons into the 
suburbs. 

Free Sunday Art Exhibition. 

The great collection at the Boston Mu- 
seum of Fine Arts is open to all every 
Sunday afternoon. St. James Avenue, 
Copley Square. 

Free Sunday Baths. The great 
floating, swimming-baths of Boston — 
(17 in number, 7 for women and girls, and 
10 for men and boys) are open to all every 
Sunday during the summer months, from 
6 to 9 a. m. (See Free JJuths for location). 

Free Sunday Natural History 
Exhibition. The famous Agassiz 
Museum of Comparative Zoology is open 
to all, on Sundays, from 1 to 5 p. m. 
Cars from Park Square or Bowdoin 
Gquare. 

Free Sunday Reading Room. 

The reading-room of the Boston Public 
Library is open to all on Sunday, day and 
evening. 4(5 Boylston Street. 

Free Vacations. The Community 
of the Holy Name, 24 Cortes Street, re- 
ceives women and children for a ten days' 
vacation at their Summer Home at Wey- 
mouth. Applications are to be made to 
the Sister Superior, 

Free Vaccination. At Charity 
Building, Chardon Street, all persons 
unable to pay for being vaccinated may 
receive this medical service free of cost. 
It is expected that every person will take 
this precautionary measure at least once 
in every seven years. 

Frog Pond. This is the name of 
the small sheet of water on Boston Corn- 



Full Dress at the Opera or Theatres 
of Boston is not de riV/«e«r,although quite 
generally worn bv occupants of the boxes 
and orchestra stalls, as far as the gentle- 
men are concerned. Ladies do not M^ear 
full dress, as a rule, and it is almost the 
nniversal custom to see ladies in walking 
costume escorted by gentlemen in full 
evening dress. The effect impressed 
upon one is striking if not particularly 
pleasing.

GLO-HAR 



Globe, Daily and Sunday. 

238 Washington Street. Established la 
1872, the tirst number being published on 
the morning of March -1 of that year. 
Maturin M. Ballou was its first editor. 
He was succeeded by Clarence S. Wason, 
who was followed by Edmund H. Hudson. 
It was not, however, until Col. Charles H. 
Taylor, who, after Mr. Ballou had retired 
from the general management of the new 
paper, took charge of alfairs that it be- 
came successful. From an independent 
daily the Globe has become a Democratic 
l)ai)er of the most pronounced type. The 
present editor is James W. Clarke, one of 
the brightest journalists in the country, 
formerly of the Traveller, and previously 
of the Sunday Times, which acquired 
great prominence during hi:5 connection 
with it for its weekly caricatures of the 
Moody and Sankey revival meetings then 
being held in the Tabernacle. The Globe 
has now reached a very large circulation, 
with both its daily and Sunday editions. 
Its features include the publication of 
continued stories, people's column, pieces 
of music, and special articles upon local 
topics of interest. The musical and dra- 
matic department, in charge of Charles 
W. Dyer, is one of the most attractive 
columns devoted to those subjects in any 
journal in the country, and is in great 
demand far and near. 

Harbor, in another department of 
this work is to be found an allusion to 
the unique and i)icturesquely beautiful 
harbor, with its bluffs and rocky head- 
lands, and its more than half a hundred 
green islands, the wonder and admiration 
of all visitors; the theme of many an 
apostrophe by famous poets, and frequent 
description by eminent authors: the 
scene in summer of " processions of float- 
ing palaces," as an English writer terms 
the great fleet of the harbor boats, filled 
with happy excursionists from the in- 
terior of Massachusetts, from New Hamp- 
shire, Vermont and Northern New York 
State; the huge ocean line steamers; 
the various boats running to home ports, 
etc. Among the steamboats making 
Boston their i)ort are the "Gallia"— 
the greyhound of the sea — " Pavonia " 
"Scythia," " Cephalonia," "Catalonia!" 
"Bothnia" and other great steamboats 
of the Cunard line between Boston and 
Liverpool; the fleets of the Allan, War- 
ren, Leyland and Anchor lines running 
from Boston to Liverpool; the Furness 
line to London; the Wilson line to Hull, 
England; the Diamond Mail line for 
Hayti; the " Katahdin," "Penobscot," 
" Iowa, " C a m b r i d g e ," " Tremont," 
"John Brooks," "State of Maine," 
"Cumberland," "Carroll," "Worcester," 
"Milanese," "Dimmock," "General 
Whitney," "Glaucus," "Saxon," "Do- 
minion," "Alpha," "Ulunda," "Damara," 
"British Queen," "Assyria," "Cale- 
donia," "Durham City,'" "Roman," 



" Spartan," " Bofrton City," " Chatham," 
"D. H. Miller," "Berkshire," "City of 
Macon," "Gate City," " City of Glouces- 
ter," "Longfellow," "Empire State," 
"Julia," " Rose Standish," "Twilight," 
"Nantasket," "William Harrison," 
"Governor Andrew," "General Lincoln," 
"Norseman," "Palestine," and numer- 
ous others, about one hundred in nunv 
ber — some of them being among the 
largest, finest and fastest ocean steam- 
ships ever constructed. Here may also 
be seen a vast fleet of yachts, among 
them the " I'uritan," of world-wide celeb- 
rity, and others scarcely less renowned. 
Commercially, Boston ranks second only 
to New York, owing largely to the ad'- 
vantages its harbor offers to vessels of all 
kinds. An official report to the United 
States Government by Prof. Henry Mitch- 
ell on Boston Harbor as late as 1882, says: 
" Its great merit lies in a happy conjunc- 
tion of many favorable elements; the 
facility and safety of its approaches; the 
ample width and depth of its entrances; 
and, above all.the shelter of its roadsteads. 
Perhaps there is ■no harbor in the world 
where the inlets of the ocean are better 
adjusted to the amplitude of the inteHor 
basins, or whose excellent holding- 
grounds are so easy of access and yet so 
land-locked. Her interior w^ater-space 
is large, but it is divided by chains of 
islands into basins which offer sufficient 
room for the heaviest ships to ride freely 
at anchor." This statement, from one of 
the best known and most competent 
authorities (of the United States Ad- 
visory Council), has had great weight in 
calling attention to the vast natural ad- 
vantages of the Harbor. With another 
extract from a report of the experienced 
captain of the English steamship, " Sor- 
rento," we close the evidence of the at- 
tractiveness of Boston Harbor. He says: 
" During all my experience as an officer 
and commander of steamships in the 
Atlantic trade, / have never before loaded 
at such magnificent docks. The great 
depth of the water at low tides, and the 
spacious sheds and elevators, render the 
most complete facilities for the loading 
and discharging of large steamships." 
(See Map of Boston Harbor given in this 
work.) 



Harbor Lights. Among the great 
lighthouses on the Atlantic coast are the 
famous Boston Light, at the entrance of 
the harbor, on Little Brewster Island, a 
revolving white light, which may be seen 
18 miles at sea; Minot Light, on Minot 
Ledge, Cohasset Rocks; Bug Light, Long 
Island Light, on Long Island, etc. (See 
Minot Light). 

Harvard Botanic Garden. 

Cambndge. Ernest Ingersoll in the Cen- 
tury, (June, 1880). writes: "Those horse- 
cars which leave Bowdoin Square, Boston, 
every half hour for Mimnt Auburn, by 



HAR-HOM 



245 



the way of Garden Street, Cambridge, 
take the visitor nearest to the Botanic 
Garden of Harvard University and the 
residence of tiae venerable botanist, Dr. 
Asa Gray. Fast Harvard Sq., and the 
Washington Ehn, you leave the car at the? 
arsenal and walk up Garden Street, fol- 
lowing the track which the British sol- 
diers took in 1775 when they started for 
Lexington and Concord." The Botanic 
Garden covers eight acres. It originated 
in 1805. Mr. IngersoUsays: " Passing out 
of the herbarium into the library, the 
hungry botanist will find it hard to go 
farther. No collection of books in this 
country approaches it. . . .How easy it 
must be to study botany in Cambridge ! 
All day long and'^every day one may freely 
bring here treasures of his woodland 
search and find their names, not by pick- 
ing them to pieces and laboriously search- 
ing among the dry technicalities of a 
dvisty volume, but by comparison with 
their living brethren." The Botanic Gar- 
den is open freely to all, every week-day. 

Harvard Musical College. 

Cambridge. A department of Harvard 
University. This great classical jMusic 
School has the highest standard possible, 
the most exacting examinations, and 
thorough instruction. It is under the 
direction of John K. Paine, who is recog- 
nized throughout the musical capitals of 
Europe as America's greatest composer, 
and most eminent native musician. Mr. 
Paine, with the true simplicity and mod- 
esty so characteristic of real genius, is 
quietly but effectively moulding a na- 
tional standard of music, and impressing 
upon the youth who come under his 
masterly method a love for Avhat is really 
good and true in music, as well as stimu- 
lating them to attempt to give correct 
expression to such musical instincts and 
ideas as nature has bestowed upon them. 

Healthfulness of the Back 

Bay. Accordino: to the testimony of 
so eminent an authority as Edward H. 
Clarke, M. D., the quarter of Boston 
known as the Back Bay is a healthful 
place of residence. He testified that 
among his patients there he had not had 
a sinffle case of t\T5hoid fever. Oliver 
Wendell Holmes, M. T>., gives similar 
evidence. Dr. Holmes, having written to 
Dr. Charles F. Folsom, then Secretary of 
th- State Board of Health, with regard to 
this matter, received the following reply: 
"As to the Back Bay land, there is no 
evidence of any conditions unfavorable to 
health which can amount to proof. 
There is so much space and sunshine that, 
on the whole, the mortality is the loicest 
in the city,— perhaps largely due to the 
character of the population." 

Hebrews. Boston has about 10,000 
Hebrews among its population. 



Herald, Daily and Sunday. 

(1846). 255 Washington Street. This great 
popular newspaper began its publications 
August 31, 1846, with an evening edition, 
being then but a small sheet, with four 
five-column pages, and sold for one cent 
a copy. William O. Eaton was its first 
editor. It began as an independent news- 
paper, and has always been conducted as 
such. Its original design was to be neu- 
tral in polities and religion^and it became 
" pledged to no religious sect or political 
party, always ready to rebuke both spirit- 
ual and political wickedness in high 
places, and call the servants of the public 
to an account whenever they abuse the 
trust committed to their care." Edwin 
C. Bailey became sole proprietor in 1856. 
In 1869, several members of the staff of 
the paper, comprising Royal M. Pulsifer, 
Edwin B. Haskell, Justin Andrews, 
Charles H. Andrews, and George G. Bai- 
ley bought out E. C. Bailey's interest in 
the Herald. Of this company George C. 
Bailey retired in 1871, and Justin An- 
drews in 1873, leaving Messrs. R. M. Pul- 
sifei-, E. B. Haskell, ana Charles H. 
Andrews proprietors of the paper, and 
the same gentlemen constitute the firm 
to-day. In 1878 the present Herald Bxdld- 
ing was occupied. It is said to be the 
most finely-equipped newspaper office m 
the world, by those competent to judge. 
It covers a ground area of 6,200 square 
feet. It has six stories and a basement. 
The presses are of sufficient capacity to 
run off about 90,000 papers an hour. The 
managing editor is John H. Holmes, 
whose ability and experience particularly 
fit him for the duties of this responsible 
]iosition. The dramatic editor is E. A. 
I'erry, and the musical department is in 
charge of Frederick P. Bacon, both of 
whom make their columns exceedingly 
interesting. In the New York Trihime 
of April 25, 1886, is a reference to the Bos- 
ton Herald, which may be appropriately 
quoted here. It is as follows: "A.M. 
Gibson, the newspaper writer, with whom 
I was talking about Boston yesterday, he 
having just returned from there, said to 
me: ' It requires a pretty big stretch of 
imagination and a personal visit to Boston 
for a New Yorker to understand what a 
city there is over there. I confess that 
I was amazed when a friend took his map 
and with a string showed me that within 
a radius of eighteen miles of Faneuil Hall 
there are 900,000 inhabitants. I would 
scarcely have believed it. You can get 
some idea of the size of the city from the 
growth of the newspaper requirements. 
The Boston Herald has sixty reporters on 
its city staff. I doubt if there is a news- 
paper in New York that has more. They 
are all paid a salary, the lowest weekly 
stipend being $20." The circulation of

and proprietors; W. Wallace Waugh, 
manager, rublished every Saturday 
morning. The Ifotne JonriuU is a bright, 
cleanly, family paper, bearing everj' evi- 
dence of thrift, as it deserves. Its special 
features are its chronicle of society move- 
ments, its able editorials, its literary, 
musical and dramatic departments and 
newsy hotel gossip. Charles M. Capen is 
the musical critic, and wields an able and 
caustic pen. Among the most interesting 
contributions recently have been Luther 
L. Holden's notes of travel. Altogether, 
the Home Jo »r«.«7 furnishes a« attractive 
a table of contents as the most cultured 
reader can desire. 

Horseback Riding. Equestrian- 
ism is becoming more popular every year, 
especially among young ladies. A visit 
to any of the numerous excellent Riding 
Schools will convince any one interested 
of the truth of this statement. Lovers of 
this healthful exercise may also often be 
found in goodly numbers on the many 
beautiful avenues beyond the Milldam. 
The city, in laying out its various parks 
and avenues, has thus far utterly ignored 
the claims of equestrians. There are, 
however, several very pleasant and pic- 
turesque bridle-paths laid out through 
the fields and woods of Brookline and 
Longwood, on private grounds, and the 
public avenues of those beautiful subur- 
ban districts are admirably fitted for 
horseback riding. Leaving the dust of 
Beacon Street, one can branch off into 
shaded, retired roads and enjoy this ex- 
ercise to the best advantage. Jamaica 
riain, — in the vicinity of Jamaica Pond, 
—the Chestnut Kill Reservoir Park, and 
other suburbs are popular with eques- 
trians. 



Horse-Car Excursions. Among 
the pleasant excursions to be made at 
trifling cost by the open horse-cars are 
the following, (the faie being five cents, 
or not more than one cent a mile for all 
the long routes except to Milton, which 
is a ten-cent fare): Take a car with the 
sign Dorchester upon it as it turns from 
Temple Place up Tremont Street, beside 
the Common. The distance is nearly fiAe 
miles, and the views after passing (Trove 
Hall are beautiful. Take any car iiinrkod 
Oakland Garden, or West Roxbury Park, 
at Temple Place, corner Tremont Street, 
and the ride will be found extremely en- 
joyable. At the terminus of this line one 
can enjoy the natural beauties of the 
great West Roxbury (Franklin) Park, or 
visit Oakland Garden, with its theatre, 
cafes, profnenades, etc. A pleasant ride 
is that to Milton (aliout six miles) throui'h 
beautiful suburbs, and ])ast fine old 
estates, cars for which route leave the 
corner of Washington and Bedford 
Streets every half hour. Other charming 
rides may be enjoyed by taking a Brook- 
line horse-car near the Tremont House 



on Tremont Street; Forest Hills, from 
Tremont House; Jamaica Plain, from 
Tremont House; South Boston, to City 
lV)int, from Scollay Scpuire or Park 
Square. Other long rides are those to 
Cambridge, Mount Auburn, Revere Beach, 
Lynn, Somerville, Chelsea, Arlington, etc. 
(The places mentioned in this list will be 
found described more fully under their 
respective names). 

Hospitals* The three principal 
hosi)itals of the city are the Massachu- 
setts, the City and tlie Carney Hospitals. 
A complete list will be found in another 
de|Dartment. 

Hospital Newspaper Society. 

This association providx'S newspapers 
and other reading-matter for the inmates 
of hosi)itals, homes, asylums and prisons. 
Boxes for the reception of such matter 
may be found at the various railway 
stations, or it may be sent to 113 Revere 
Street. 

Hotel Elevators for guests were 
first introduced in Boston at the Ameri- 
can House. 

Hub of the Universe. Oliver 
Wendell Holmes, in his "Autocrat of the 
Bi-eakfast Table," was the first to call 
Boston State House the Hub of the Solar 
System. The quotation is literally as 
follows: " Boston State House is the hub 
of the solar system. You couldn't pry 
that out of a Boston man if you had the 
tire of all creation straightened out for a 
crowbar! " Somehow or other the origi- 
nal expression has been changed to the 
" Hub of the Universe " and it sticks to 
Boston almost as firmly as its proper 
name. 

Ice Skating. Skating on ice may 
be enjoyed in "zero weather" on the 
great Jamaica Pond, (Jamaica Plain, 
West Roxbury District); Fresh I'ond, 
(Cambridge); and to a limited extent on 
the Public Garden Pond and the Frog 
I'ond on the Common, the latter resorts 
being reserved for children. When the 
ice is in good condition at Jamaica Pond 
— the best place to go for this sport — the 
street-cars of the Jamaica Plain line 
(Starting from Tremont House) carry a 
signal to that effect in the form of a skate 
J 'laced above the front end of each car. 
(See Boston Ice-Skatiu'j Club).- 

Italian Colony. There are in 
Boston nearly 10,000 Italians, mostly liv- 
ing at the North End.

Journal. In 1841, John S. Sleeper, James 
A. Dix, and Henry Rogers were the pro- 
prietors, Capt. Sleeper being editor. As 
"Hawser Martingale" he had written 
Some very popular "Tales of the Sea." 
James A/ Dix was the next editor, and 
was followed by Stephen N. Stockwell. 
Col. Rogers did much to establish the 
Journal upon a secure footing, and suc- 
ceeded in amassing a large fortune, being 
come time before his death the principal 
proprietor. Mr. Stockwell Avas a man of 
rare ability. Col. W. W. Clapp is the 
I)resent editor, general manager and treas- 
urer, his staff including the following: 
C. F. W. Archer, John W. Ayres, B. Leigh- 
ton Real, W. E. Bryant, (night editor), 
H. R. Chamberlain, George H. Dearborn, 
Frank Foxcrof t, W. W. Hill, W. F. Hutch- 
ins, Arthur T. Lovell, AVinthrop L. Mar- 
vin, Stephen O'Meara, (news editor), 
Henry O'Meara, (editor weekly, dramatic 
writer;, A. C. Parker, Geo. H. Pratt, AV. E. 
Robinson, J. H. Russell, ^Y. H. Sanger, 
Z. A. Smith, C. B. Seagrave, Miss Grace 
W. Soper, Fred D. Sthnpson, J. P. Shee- 
han, A. A. AVilder. Col. Clapp is a jour- 
nalist of great and versatile natural gifts, 
scliooled by long experience, and has won 
for the Jnm-nal a reputation of which he 
may well be proud. It is an excellent 
type of a thoroughly New England news- 
paper for the fanaly, 

Iia;Crosse. This game is rapidly 
becoming very popular here. It was 
first played prominently in this city as 
one of the Fourth of July sports on 
Boston Common, where it 'drew many 
thousands of spectators. The games 
were played between an Indian Club 
from Canada and the Boston Club. It is 
now recognized as one of the leading 
games, combining, as it does, the best 
features of the other games. Of the 
Boston Indei)endent Lacrosse Club, Jamc s 
A, McGee is President and P. J. McLaugh- 
lin is Captain. The Cambridge Lacrosse 
Club has for President Charles C. Ab- 
bott, and for Captain Henry B. Hook. 
The Somerville Lacrosse Club's Presi- 
dent is W. H. Cummings; Captain, F, C. 
Ross. 

Lady Journalists. Among the 
ladies engaged upon the Boston press are 
the following: Mrs. A. M. B. Ellis ("Max 
Eliot"), Hrrahl; Sallie Joy White, Ad- 
vrrfiser: Susie Vogl, Woman's Journal ; 
Lillian Whiting, Traveller; Miss Hatch, 
Globe; Miss Soper, Journal ; Miss Al- 
drich. Home Journal; Mrs. Jenkins 
(" Jay "), Herald; Mrs. AVashburn, Globe, 
Lucy Stone, Woman's Journal. 

Latitude of Boston. The lati- 
tude of the city is 42° 21' 27.6" North, 

Law and Order League. As 

strangely as it may appear, notwith- 
standing every public official is popularly 



t^upposed to have taken an oath to aid in 
the enforcement of the laws, a society 
has been formed having for its object 
the careful, looking-after of the " ser- 
vants of the people " to see that certain 
laws are thoroughly and im])artially exe- 
cuted. The ramifications of this organi- 
zation extend through all sections of the 
city, and its influence is strongly felt. 
L. Edwin Dudley is the Secretary of the 
League. 

Longitude of Boston. The 

longitude of the city is 5° 59' 18 ' East, 
from AVashington, D. C, and 71° 3' 30 ' 
AVest, from Greenwich, England. 

Minot Light, on Minot Ledge, 
Boston Harbor, is a gigantic lighthouse, 
which is viewed with great interest by 
all who pass it. The first lighthouse 
erected here, of iron, was destroyed in a 
great storm, two men being drowned. 
The present granite structure was built 
in 1858-60. Longfellow wrote of it as 
follows: 
" The rocky ledge runs far into the sea, 

And on 'its outer point — some miles 
awav — 
The lighthouse lifts its massive masonry; 
' A pillar of fire by night, of cloud by 
day." 

Morgues. Places of sad interest to 
numerous visitors are the Morgues, of 
which there are two, one on North Grove 
Street and the other on Harrison Avenue, 
(City Hospital Grounds). They are the 
receptacles for the bodies of those found 
dead in streets, harbor, river or elsewhere. 
There are generally a number of bodies 
awaiting identification. 

Mount Auburn Cemetery. 

The first burial-place to be laid out in the 
United States as a "garden cemetery" 
was that of Mount Auburn, Cambridge, 
in 1831, and although the plan has been 
imitated in other sections of the country 
Mount Auburn is still the loveliest spot 
for the interment of the dead, and the 
most celebrated cemetery in the land. 
Various causes combine to bring about 
this result. Its great area, its natural 
beauties, the age of its trees, the original 
and perfect designs of its gardening, 
taken in connection with the famous per- 
sons whose dust lies there, render it a 
place of sad interest to the thousands of 
people who visit it during every summer. 
It is evident that the memory of the dead 
is still kept green, as fresh flowers are 
placed upon many of the graves day after 
day. Here are buried Henry Wadsworth 
Lo'ngfellow, Charles Sumner, Charlotte 
Cushman, Erminia Rudersdorff, Louis 
Agassiz, Edward Everett, Anson Burlin- 
game, Nathaniel Bowditch, AVilliam 
Ellery Channing, John Murray, Hosea 
Ballon, and numerous other men and 
women eminent in life, and closely idpn- 
tified with the name and fame of Boston,

At the time of the consecration of this 
cemetery, Charles Sprague wrote the fol- 
lowing fines: 
"We raise no shout, no trumpet sound, 

No banner to the breeze we spread; 
Children of clay ! bend humbly round:— 

AVe plant a city to the dead." 

Longfellow's lot is numbered 580, In- 
dian Ridge. The snow was softly falling 
on Sunday, March 26, 1882, when he was 
laid to rest, reminding one who was 
present of the illustrious poet's own lines 
at the time of the burial of Richard 
Henry Dana: 

•'We laid him in the sleep that comes to all 

And left him to his rest and his renown. 

The snow was falling, as if Heaven 

dropped down 

White flowers of paradise to strew his 

pall:— 
The dead around him seemed to wake 
and call 
His name, as worthy of so white a 
crown." 

When Charlotte Cushman visited Mount 
Auburn in 1874 for the purpose of select- 
ing a lot which should be her final 
resting-place, she was shown several en- 
closures surrounded by costly and impos- 
ing monuments. She remarked: "These 
are all grand and beautiful, but haven't 
you a lot commanding an unobstructed 
view of the great city?" She was in- 
formed that there were a few lots for 
sale near the tower. While she and the 
oflBcial were on the way to the place 
designated, the graves of some of her 
once warmest friends were passed, and 
at each she paused for a moment and 
related some pleasant memories connect- 
ed with their lives. Palm avenue, at the 
eastern side of the grounds, was reached, 
and, standing upon a little eminence, 
Miss Cushman exclaimed: "This is a 
delightful spot; see, yonder lies dear old 
Boston ! " The lot is numbered 4,236. 
There are notable works of art through- 
out the cemetery, among them Milmore's 
" Sphinx," the Bowditch Statue, the Bal- 
lon monument, and others, while in the 
Chapel are statues of John Winthrop, 
John Adams, James Otis and Joseph 
Story. An interesting feature is the 
Ossili Memorial, erected in memory of 
Margaret Fuller Ossili, the famous writer 
and reformer, who was lost at sea, 1850. 
(Mount Auburn is reached by the Cam- 
bridge line of street-cars, from Bowdoin 
Square). 

Music* Boston is generally con- 
ceded to be the musical centre of the 
United States, especially by disinterested 
musicians from abroad. Its great Handel 
and Haydn Society, the foremost oratorio 
organization in the country; its superb 
Symphony Orchestra, rivalling the best 
orchestras of Europe, conducted by Herr 
Wilhelm Gericke, acknowledged to be 
one of the leading musical directors of 



the world — ; its noted singing clubs — 
the Boylston, Apollo, Cecilia, etc. — ; its 
Euterpe Club for promoting the highest 
class of chamber music; its Conservato- 
ries and Music Schools, the most exten- 
sive in the country; its large number of 
resident musicians of national — and 
several of world-wide — fame, together 
with the high standard of musical taste 
pervading the entire community (which 
IS due in some degree to the excellent 
system of teaching music in the public 
schools), are important factors in im- 
parting to the city a musical atmosphere 
rivalling that of the capitals of the Old 
World. Within a few years a great and 
gratifying change has taken place in our 
musical affairs. For a long period there 
was no attempt made to develop or to 
encourage native artists or composers. 
On the contrary, everything was done to 
convince young Americans that they had 
no right to think for themselves in musi- 
cal matters. They were made to feel that 
being living Americans instead of dead 
Germans there was no hope for them. 
English, French and Italian music, they 
were told, was no music at all. There had 
never been any such thing as American 
music, and never could be. It was down- 
right nonsense to imagine for a moment 
that there would ever exist an American 
Avho could sing or play, but should such 
a phenomenal being happen to be born, 
he must perforce, sing and play only Ger- 
man music. It is not very creditable 
to our city that John Knowles Paine, the 
foremost of American composers, was not 
given a hearing by the Harvard Musical 
Association until after he had won recog- 
nition in Berlin. But now, happily, all is 
changed. The shackles that so long bore 
heavily upon our native youth are broken. 
To Calixa Lavallee may be given a con- 
siderable degree of credit for having as- 
sisted to emancipate us from the snobbery 
and toadyism that has so long prevailed 
among program-makers, who have seemed 
to recoil with horror from any work the 
name of which is in the English lan- 
guage. It is singular that it should have 
been necessary for a foreign musician to 
come among us to help stir our national 
and local pride, and to stimulate the 
growth and development of music of 
home production. But now that the 
great tide has turned ; now that an over- 
whelming reaction has set in, what may 
we not expect from our own musicians ? 
As an evidence of what has already been 
accomplished, we quote the following, 
from one of the ablest musical papers 
published, Freund's Music and Drama, 
New York: "A great many artists are 
settling in Boston, mostly young Ameri- 
cans, who have studied in Europe and 
have come home with their acquired 
stock of knowledge to spread the culture 
of music here. Boston is becoming the 
cradle of American musicians of promi- 
nence. From Boston there may one day 
arise the future American Beethoven,"

Old Corner Bookstore, Prob- 
ably the most noted bookstore in this 
country is the Old Corner Bookstore, at 
the corner of Washington and School 
Streets, where Oliver AVendell Holmes, 
James Russell Lowell, John Greenleaf 
Whittier, AVilliam Dean Howells, Julia 
Ward Howe, George Makepeace Towle, 
John Boyle O'Reilly, George Parsons 
Lathrop and other authors may often be 
met, as in former times Henry Wadsworth 
Longfellow, Ralph Waldo Emerson, 
Charles Dickens, Nathaniel Hawthorne, 
and many other celebrities gathered 
there. The building was erected in 1712. 
The firms of Booksellers who have occu- 
pied this famous corner, have been Carter 
& Hendee, Allen & Ticknor, Wm. I). 
Ticknor & Co., Ticknor & Fields, E. P. 
Dutton & Co., A. W^illiams & Co. The 
business is now conducted by Messrs.

men who by ability and enterprise fully 
sustain the prestige of the far-famed 
bouse.j t 

Old Bookstores. The lover of 
old and rare books will find abundant 
means for gratifying his tastes in the 
noted antiquarian bookstores of Boston. 
Cornhill is the centre of this large busi- 
ness. At No. 60 on this street is Bird's 
Old Book Shop, where seekers after 
"first editions" and scarce historical 
and dramatic works make their haunt. 
Another well-known antiquarian book- 
store is that of Burnham. 2 Milk Street, 
under the Old South Meeting House. 



Old Buildings. At either end of 
the short thoroughfare of School Street 
may be foutjd old buildings of great his- 
torical interest. On the end cornering on 
Tremont Street is the famous old King's 
Chapel (1749), while at the end joining 
Washington Street is the building now 
known as the Old Corner Bookstore (1712). 
(On the latter site once stood the resi- 
dence of the troublesome Anne Hutchin- 
son.) A little above this building, on the 
corner of Milk Street, stands the Old 
South Meeting House (1729). Nearly 
opposite (where is now the St. Joachim 
store) stand the walls of the old Province 
House (1689). Returning past the Old 
Corner Bookstore and passing down 
Washington Street to the corner of State 
Street, w-e come to the Old State House 
(1748). Thence, proceeding through Wash- 
ington Street and, turning to the right, 
we are at Faneuil Hall (1742). Returning 
to Washington Street and keeping on 
until Hanover Street is reached, Salem 
Street is but a few steps to the left. Tak- 
ing our walk through Salem Street, pass- 
ing on the_way several old houses, at 
the farther end we come to the memora- 
ble Old North Church (1723), from the 
tower of which the lanterns were dis- 
played as a signal to Paul Revere that the 
British troops were to move on Lexing- 
ton. From here it is but a short walk to 
North Square, where stands the house in 
which Paul Revere lived. 

Old North End. The stranger 
will find a most interesting ramble by 
walking from the head of Hanover Street 
down through Salem and Charter Streets. 
On Salem Street is the famous old North 
Church where the lanterns were hung 
out. (See Historical Tablets.) On Char- 
ter Street is the old Copp's Hill Burial 
Ground, of great historic interest, and the 
old Phipp's'house. 

Palatial Back Bay Hotels. 

In the aristocratic quarter of the city 
known as the Back Bav or New West End 
there are three Hotels which for size, 
magnificence and sumptuousness of fur- 
nishing equal any public houses in the 
world and eclipse most of those in the 
United States. Strangers are simply 
amazed at the splendor of these great 
Hotels, foreigners looking upon them 
with equal surprise and pleasure as evi- 
dences of the rapid development of the 
resources of " the new country, where 
everything is done on such a vast and 
magnificent scale," and as a proof of the 
advanced taste, culture and refinement 
of the great and rapidly growing metro- 
polis of New England. It is but a few 
years since the territory upon which 
stand these superb Hotels wasa waste of 
water and marsh, while to-day the sur- 
roundings are such as no capital in the 
world can surpass in grandeur of archi- 
tecture, broad avenues and squares, and 



250 



PAR 



all the accessories that indicate the opu-- 
k'lice and hixury of the " merchant 
princes" of the second commorcial city 
of the United States. Now that it is be- 
coming tlie fasliion for the Enp;lisli nobil- 
ity and <;entry who visit the United States 
to take steamers direct for Boston, it is 
but natural that tlie hotels arranged for 
the accommodation of this class of travel, 
as well as for the Americans who make a 
stay of a few weeks in Boston eii route to 
the White Mountains or the hundreds of 
fashionable seaside resorts in the vicinity, 
should i>repare for their reception in 
the styles corresponding with that of the 
grandest hotels in the world. This the 
proprietors of the Brunswick, the Ven- 
dome and the Victoria are qualified to do, 
from the abundant resources at their 
command. The Hotel Brunswick was 
opened in 1874. It is located on Boylstnu 
Street, corner of Clarendon Street, near 
Copley Square, and but a few steps from 
the Museum of Fine Arts, Trinity Church, 
New Old South, and other noted struc- 
tures. The Brunswick covers over half an 
acre of land, is six stories liigh, and its 
exterior, of brick with sandstone trim- 
mings, presents a grand appearance. Tha 
building originally cost about one million 
of dollars. It is considered to be perfectly 
fireproof. The Brunswick is famed 
throughout the country for the elegance, 
taste and luxuriousness with which its 
rooms are furnished. It has nearly 400 
rooms. Every suite is furnished with a 
bath-room. The famous Whittier ban- 
quet, given here in 1877, to commemorate 
the poet's 70th birthday, is remembered 
as one of Boston's great literary gather- 
ings. The Hotel Vendouie is situated 
upon what Harper's WockJy has justly 
termed " the most magnificent avenue in 
America." Commonwealth Avenue is 
two hundred and fifty feet wide, from 
house to house, with a wide parkway 
running its entire length, and lined on 
either side with some of the most palatial 
residences in the world. The Vendome 
has a frontage on the avenue of 240 feet, 
and on Dartuiouth Street of 125 feet, is 
eight stories high, its fronts, of white 
marble, presenting a most imposing ap- 
pearance. Its grand ban(iuet hall, 110 
feet long, seats 350 persons. There are 
five other great dining-rooms. It has 
several parlors of large size. The Ven- 
dome was built at an expense of more 
than a million dollars. During the sum- 
mer of 1886 the hotel was elosed to the 
public for the purpose of refitting, the 
furniture, carpets, etc., being disposed 
of; and although the house has from the 
time of its opening been noted for the 
beauty and richness of its furnishings, 
the splendor of its new appointments far 
eclii)ses all former grandeur, and it is, to- 
day, proba1)ly the inost expensively fur- 
nished public 'house in America, every- 
thing from the basenuMit to the roof 
being entirely new and of the most mod- 
era and beautiful description. The Vic- 



toria is the newest of these great hotels, 
having been constructed in 1885-6. It is 
located on Dartmouth Street (just across 
the street frora the Vendome), and is one 
of the most attractive edifices on the 
Back Bay, which is famed the world over 
for its superb and varied styles of archi- 
tecture. The Victoria is of brick, seven 
stories high, and has been constructed 
expressly to give full scope to the plans 
of its proprietors for a model hotel on the 
Euroi)ean plan. Every well-established 
good feature of hotels designed upon this 
system has been retained, while all mod- 
ern inventions and imi)rovements, that 
can add to the comfort or luxury of its 
a])pointments, have been adopted. Of 
these palatial Back Bay Hotels, the - 
Brunswick and Vendome are kept \\\)i.m 
the American plan, and the Victoria on 
the European system. The proprietors 
of these three great Hotels are Amos 
Barnes and John W. Dunklee, whose ex- 
perience, judgment and taste abundantly 
qualify them for the prtmiinent and suc- 
cessful position they hold among the 
hotel proprietors of the country. (These 
Hotels may be reached by public car- 
riages to be found at all of the railway 
stations and steamboat piers; by Ven- 
dome and Clarendon lines of liack Bay 
cars, etc. Passengers arriving on Boston 
& Albany Railway will save time and 
trouble by alighting at the' Huntington 
Avenue station, which is within a few 
steps of any one of these three Hotels). 

Parker House. (1855). School 
Street, corner of Tremont Street. Estab- 
lished by the late Harvey D. Parker. It 
was the first hotel in the United States to 
be opened on the European plan of fur- 
nishing meals and lodgings separately, 
I'arker's occupies a unique position 
among the great hotels of the world, t)f- 
fering accommodations to the travelling 
public that are to be found in but few 
hotels. Its central location, its vast size, 
its excellent table, its elegantly-furnished 
rooms and sleeping apartments, its eleva- 
tors, and various other equipments are of 
the highest degree of comfort and luxury 
combined. Parker's is a great rallying- 
])oint on election nights, and other occa- 
sions when important news is expected. 
Many clubs dine here. The proprietors, 
Joseph H. Beckman and Edward O. Pun- 
chard, are young gentlemen who have 
disi)layed tact, judgment, enterprise, and 
liberality in management. The rates for 
rooms range from $;i.00 upward; suites 
$8.00 upward. There are 325 rooms, single 
and eii suite. Of the office staff, J. Albert 
lUitler is cashier; Frank W. Oilman, book- 
keeper; Sebastian Sommer, asst.; Louis 
P. Roberts, James A. Fitzsimmons, room- " 1 
clerks; Frederick W. Draper, night-clerk. " "I

Bates Hall, Public Library, 4G Boylston 
Street, may be seen complete files of the 
United States Patent Office Reports. 

Petty Provincialisms, The 

frood, i)atient and long-sull'ering I>oston- 
ian still encourages the hope that the 
period is not far remote when the burn- 
ing of a small, disused barn in the West 
Roxbury District will not cause half a 
million of people to be disturbed in their 
avocations during the day, nor aroused 
from their slumber at night, by the clang 
of alarm bells ; when the police will 
keep the narrow sidewalks of Washing- 
ton Street free from groups of persons 
who stand there for hours obstructing 
the passage of i)edestrians; when all 
cab-drivers will be compelled to carry 
lighted side-lanii)S, as many now do vol- 
untarily; when there will be a sufficient 
number of police stationed upon the 
Comnicn and Public Garden to make 
those grounds as safe to cross at night 
as they are during the day; when the 
various i-treet-railway lines will be re- 
quired to run Vox cars alternately with 
the open ones, for the benefit of elderly 
and delicate jiersons; when street-cars 
will not be kept waiting for a passenger 
who is walking leisurely toward the car, a 
block away; when the ])iatformsof street- 
cars on the inside— next to the other track 
— will be closed by gates, thus avoiding 
danger and delay; when bridges for foot 
passengers will "be erected at all grade 
crossings of steam-railways, l)y order of 
the railway commissioners, thus redu- 
cing the number of fatal accidents at such 
crossings; when managers of theatres 
and otlier places of anuisement Avill give 
the exact location of their houses in their 
advertisements, as well as the time for 
beginning and closing the performances; 
when ladies and gentlemen from the 
country will not insist upon walking 
four or five abreast, and clasping each 
other's hands, on Washington Street side- 
walks; when 1 uilding contractors will 
not occupy more than half of the street 
and all of the sidewalk while erecting 
new buildings; Avhen those who throw 
orange peel and biinana rind upon the 
sidewalk will be arrested, as they are in 
New York and other cities; when Devon- 
shire Street will be permanently paved; 
when i)edestrians will keep to the right 
of the sidewalk; when no one will be 
permitted to litter the streets and side- 
walks with circulars and other rubbish; 
and when carts collecting ashes and gar- 
bage w'ill do so early in the morning or 
late at night, particularly on the princi- 
pal streets. 

Pilot. (1838). 607 Washington Street. 
The first Roman-Catholic newspaper to be 
established in P>oston, — having been 
founded by the well-knowai bookseller, 
Patrick Donahoe, the Pilot has Iccoiue 



the leading and most influential Catholic 
paper in the United States, having a very 
large circulation throughout the country. 
It is edited by John IJojie O'Reilly, one 
of America's foremost young poets, whose 
fame is daily extending. He gives the 
Pilot a high literary tone, as would bo 
expected from a gentleman of his rare 
scholarly tastes and genuine literary in- 
stincts. The Pilot is read and enjoyed by 
those of every religious belief, its news 
is carefully and thoroughlv gathered, and 
is reliable. Mr. O'Reilly has d<me much 
to encourage poets and writers, and his 
kindness will ever be cherished by them 
with gratitude. 

Plays. All plays that are published 
may be had of Lee & Shepard, 10 Milk 

Street. 

Polls. The number of Polls in 1885 
was 112,140. 

Population of Boston. The 

population of the city in 1780 was 25,000, 
in 1S22, 49,21)1; in 1880, 362,535; in 1886, 
401, 'J87. 

Post, Daily. (1S31). 17 Milk street. 
This Democratic, commercial newspapei 
— iniblished every morning, — is issued 
from the Post Building, erected on the site 
of the house where Boston's great philos- 
opher, patriot, and printer, Benjamin 
Franklin, was born. Colonel Charles G. 
Greeh was the founder of the Post, issu- 
ing its first number November 9, 1831. 
Charles G. Green, at the beginning of the 
publication of the Pos^gave it the char- 
acteristics it has since retained in a great 
degree. Frederick E. Goodrich, George 
F. Emery, and Robert G. Fitch have, dur- 
ing recent years, successively been its 
editors, each conducting it with ability. 
Among those wdio have contributed to 
the Post, editorially and otherwise, have 
been Richard Frothingham, George 
Makepeace Towle, B. P. Shillaber (" Mrs. 
Partington "), George F. Babbitt, and 
Charles H. Hoyt. In 1886, Edwin F. Bacon, 
a gentleman qualified in the highest 
degree by scholarship, the most perfect 
journalistic training and long experience, 
assumed editorial charge of the Post, 
which was never brighter, more readable 
or newsy than at present. He is assisted 
by a large and efficient staff. 



Promenade Concerts. Prom- 
enade — or as they are sometimes called 
"walk-about" or "smoking" concerts — 
are very popular in Boston. At the 
Oriental Garden, Shawmut Avenue; Bos- 
ton Music Hall Garden, Winter Street; 
Summer Bazaar Garden, Mechanic Hall, 
Huntington Avenue; and at Oakland 
Garden, Blue Hill Avenue, these concerts 
are given during the summer evenings.

rUB— RIC 



Public Pier. (1886). City Point, 
South Boston. A broad pier extending 
several hundred feet into Dorchester 
Bay. A very popular resort in summer. 

Quincy House. Brattle Street. 
This is one of the hirgost and most poi)u- 
lar hotels in the city. The present enter- 
prising proprietors, J W. Johnson & Co., 
leave nothing undone that can minister 
to the wants of their numerous gu:sts. 
Many clubs dine here. 

Rapid Rail-way Trains. Al- 
though the United Stntes is considerably 
behind England in the matter of fast 
railway trains there is an attempt now 
being made upon some of the lines run- 
ning out of Boston to equal the fastest 
trains in the world, if not to surpass 
them. The " Flying Dude" train on the 
Old Colony Railway runs every day ex- 
cept Sunday between Boston and Woods 
Holl, a distance of 72 miles in 1 hour, 
40 minutes. The train leaves Boston at 
3.10 p. m. The " Flying Yankee " train 
also makes quick time. 

Rate of Taxation. The rate of 
taxation in 1885 was .<;12.80 on $1,000. 

Recognition of Boston 
Schools. The people of America have 
generally conceded the palm of superi- 
ority in public-school methods of educa- 
tion to Boston, whose schools are not 
only the best but the oldest in the coun- 
try, the Boston LatiYi School having been 
established in 1G35 (five years after the 
settlement of the city, and three years 
previous to the founding of Harvard 
University). The following is an extract 
from the report made by Rev. James 
Fraser, the English commissioner sent 
by Her Majesty, Queen Victoria, to in- 
vestigate the Common School system of 
the United States, said rei)()rt being pre- 
sented to both houses of Parliament: 
"Taking it for all in all, and as accom- 
plishing the end at which it professes to 
aim, the English High School of Boston 
struck me as the model school of the 
United States. I wish we had a hundred 
such in England." This was not a hasty 
estimate, but a decision arrived at after 
the most searching examination of the 
school-methods employed in the public 
schools of the principal cities of the 
United States, lasting for nearly a year. 
This report, from so competent, unpreju- 
diced and intelligent a judge as Bishop 
Fraser, is a most valuable endorsement 
of Boston's school system. 

Record, Daily. A bright little 
one-cent evening paper issued from the 

Advertiser oUice. 

Recovery of Lost Goods. 

C1886). Lost and Found Bureau. 61 Brom- 



field Street. A novel departure from the 
old methods of finding or restoring lost 
articles has been made by the establish- 
ment, in a central quarter, of an office 
for this express purpose. Through the 
medium of this Bureau articles are re- 
stored to their owners without going to 
the trouble or expense of advertising. 
Any person finding an article is earnestly 
requested to leave information here con- 
cerning it. Any one who has lost any 
article may, by promptly reporting the 
loss here, be very likely to be placed in the 
way of recovering it. 

Residences. Boston had 44,196 
dwellings in 1886. 

Revere House. (i847). Bowdoin 

Square. This is one of the most noted 
hotels of the city. It was named for Paul 
Revere. It occupies the site of the former 
residence of Kirk Boott, senior. It was 
once managed by Paran Stevens, one of 
the most notable of American landlords. 
Among eminent personages who have 
made the Revere their home while in 
Boston have been the Prince of Wales, 
the Grand Duke Alexis, the Emperor Dom 
Pedro, King Kalakaua; Presidents Fil- 
more. Pierce, Johnson, and Grant; Gen- 
erals Sherman, and Sheriilan; Parepa- 
Rosa, Therese Tietjens, Adelina Patti, 
Christine Nilsson, and numerous others. 
The Revere is now conducted by J. F. 
Merrow & Co., who by their enterprise 
and liberal management amply maintain 
the old-time prestige of the house. The 
hotel can accommodate 250 guests.

Rivers. The Charles and Mystic 
Rivers furnish fine facilities for boat- 
ing. (See Boat Chihs). Longfellow has 
immortalized the former beautiful stream 
iu his celebrated Poem: "To the River 



Charles," from which we excerpt the fol- 
lowing stanza: 
" Thou hast taught me, Silent River! 

Many a lesson, deep and long; 
Thou hast been a generous giver; 

I can give thee but a song! " 

Roller-Skating. This form of 
amusement oriiiinated in Paris in 1819. 
It was the result of a theatrical expedient. 
According to Herr Hock, the stage man- 
ager, all who enjoy roller-skating are 
indebted for their sport to the famous 
composer, Meyerbeer. AVhen his opera, 
" The Prophet," was produced in Paris, it 
was almost decided at one time to cut out 
the skating-scene in the third act, as the 
manager saw no M'ay of converting the 
stage into a sheet of ice. At this crisis 
an ingenious stage hand came forward 
and suggested that ordinary skates might 
be placed upon wheels. The 0])era House 
in Paris was therefore the first roller- 
skating rink in the world. The sport is 
not now as popular as fonneiiy in Boston, 
although there are several rinks devoted 
to it during the amusement season. 
Among them are the following : Winslow's 
Boston Rink, rear 62 St. James Avenue, 
Back Bay; Olympian Rink, Mechanics 
Building, Huntington Avenue, Back Bay; 
Highland Rink, 754 Shawmut Avenue, 
Roxbury District; Coiumbia Rink, 1194 
Washington St. ; Argyle Rink, 888 Wash- 
ington St.; Paris Rink, Paris St., E. B.; 
Phenix Rink, A\^ebster St., E. B.; Alham- 
bra Rink, City Point, S. B. Several of 
these Rinks are used for other purposes, 
music-gardens, etc., during the summer. 

Rooms. A very pleasant method of 
living in Boston is to engage a furnished 
room by the w^eek, and take one's meals 
at any of the numerous good restaurants. 
This is an economical way of living, be- 
sides the freedom it gives for lunching 
or dining whenever and wherever one 
chooses. Rooms to be let for lodgings 
are advertised in the Transcript and 
other daily papers. 

Roses, Rhododendrons, etc. 

Boston roses, rlK >dodendrons, chrysanthe- 
mums, lilies, smilax and other products 
of the floral kingdom are so celebrated 
all over the country that the merest refer- 
ence to them is all that is necessary. 
Boston supplies New York with an enor- 
mous number of roses, especially, which 
seem to reach greater beauty and per- 
fection in the suburbs of this city than 
elsewhere in this part of the country. 

Safe Deposit Vaults. House- 
breaking has decreased considerably 
since Public Safe Deposit Vaults have 
been established, as many wealthy citi- 
zens now keep valuables in these strong 
fire-proof and constantly-guarded repos- 
itories. (The vaults are connected with 
the police stations by electric signals.) 
The principal establishments are the

Saturday Evening Gazette. 

(181.3). 2 Bromfield Street. Established 
by William W. Clapp. As- a Saturday 
paper, tlie Gazette took the initiative in 
is.suing Sunday editions, eventually dis- 
continuing the' Saturday edition, and con- 
centrating all its forces' upon tlie Sunday 
paper. The (iazette has become almost a 
necessity to the cultivated classes of Bos- 
ton and its environs. The editors since 
its founder's time have been Col. W. W. 
Clapp, (now manager of the Daily Jour- 
nal), George B. Woods, Warren L. Brig- 
ham, and Colonel Henry G. Parker, its 
present editor and proprietor. Its con- 
tributors have included many noted 
writers, among them, B. P. S'hillaber, 
(" Mrs. Partington "), George H. Monroe, 
(" Templeton "), and others. The princi- 
pal features of the Gazette, which Col. 
Parker has developed into one of the most 
successful newspaper proi)erties in the 
United States, are its able and incisive 
editorials; its resume of society events of 
the week; the dramatic and musical crit- 
icisms of Benjamin E. Woolf, (who has 
won celebrity as a dramatist and com- 
poser and as a critic of great analytical 
power and masterly diction); the weekly 
sermon of Rev. James Freeman Clarke; 
a si)arkling New York letter written by 
Miss Jeannette Gilder, ("Brunswick"); 
together with able literary and art de- 
partments. M. P. Curran, the accom- 
plished journalist, hasfor some time been 
connected with Col. Parker's corps of 
writers. The Gazette occupies a peculiar 
and enviable position among Boston's 
favorite i)a))ers. 

Shaw Kindergarten Schools. 

A philanthropic Boston lady — Mrs. Pau- 
line A. Shaw — has established thirty or 
more free Kindt^rgarten Schools in vari- 
ous sections of the city, defravinir the 
entire expense herself." These' Schools 
enlist the services of fifty teachers. 
Many poor children receive her boiinty. 

Smoking Restaurants, in 

some of the hotels conducted on the 



European system there are rooms as- 
signed for the use of those gentlemen 
wlio wish to liy.ht a cigar or cigarette at 
table. Such smoking restaurants are to 
be found at Young's, Parker's and other 
hotels, and are known also as " coffee- 
rooms," etc. 

Soldiers' Home. (1882). Chelsea. 

"For v.iiat he was and all he dared, 
llememuer liim to-day ! " 
is the motto adopted by the noble found- 
ers of the S(jldiers' Home in Massachu- 
setts — Gen. Horace Binney Sargent, Gov. 
Alexander H. Rice, Gov. Wm. Gaston, 
Gen. Charles Devens, Capt. J. G. B. 
Adaius, and others — opened on Powder 
Horn Hill, Chelsea, July 2.5, 1882. The 
Home accommodates 111 soldiers, and it 
now contains that complement. Condi- 
tions for admission-: The apjilicant must 
be a resident of the State of Massachu- 
setts; must have served in the Rebellion; 
must be una])le to earn his living; and 
must not be in receii)t of a pension. The 
sum of $05,000 was raised for this grand 
Institution at a Fair held in Mechanics' 
Hall, Boston. Library, 2, .500 vols. Here 
is a most interesting Museum of War 
Relics. Superintendent of the Soldiers' 
Home, James A. Cunningham. Open to 
visitors on every day except Sunday. 
(Take WashingtonAvehue, Chelsea, horse- 
car to the foot of Powder Horn Hill, and 
a flight of 148 steps conducts to the Home). 
Possibly it may be interesting to quote 
here a table given by Francis W. Palfrey 
in the " Memorial 'History of Boston," 
relative to the representation of Massa- 
chusetts in the Rebellion. He says, " In 
consulting it, it must be remei'nbered 
that the32d, 33d and 35th regiments of 
infantry did not go to the front till after 
the 1st "of July, 1802, when tlie fighting of 
the Peninsula campaign, so called, was 
ended; that the 54th and 55th regiments 
of infantrv were not organized till 18G3, 
nor the 50th till 1804. . . . The 19th, 
though brigaded with the 20th, was absent 
from several engagements in whicli the 
20th took part in" tlie first year of the 
war, and engaged at least once when the 
20th was not :—

SOU-SUN

South Boston Canoe Club. 

Canoeing is becoming very popular, espec- 
ially with ladies. It is easier than rowing, 
and affords the best of exercise, develop- 
ing the muscles of the shoulders and 
chest. John Boyle O'Reilly is an ardent 
lover of this pastime, and has done much 
to make known its pleasures. The South 
Boston Canoe Club is at the foot of K 
Street. Joseph Frizzell is the Commodore 
of the Club. 

Suburban Old Houses. In the 

immediate vicinity of Boston the anti- 
quarian will find numerous houses the age 
and history of which will prove interest- 
ing. Among these are the Cradock House 
at Medford (1(334); the Deane Winthrop 
House (about 104!)) at Revere; Yeamans 
House (1680) Revere; Floyd Mansion (1670) 
Revere ; and others.

sionals, have homes in Boston.) 

Summer Population of the 
City. There is a summer population in 
Boston (says the TrareUer) of a very 
distinctive and interesting character. 
Boston, as the gateway to the mountains 
and the sea, has thereby all the transient 
guests who are passing through to sum- 
mer resorts, — the wealthy and aristo- 
cratic visitors who, while in the city, so- 
journ at the fashionable Back Bay liotel, 



the Brunswick; and another distinctive 
class, composed of students, teachers, 
and other professional people, who come 
to Boston for a summer's w^ork as the 
Mecca of learning and of good library 
facilities. There is a large army of those 
interesting summer guests who come to 
Boston to combine vacatiim, sight-seeing, 
and literary, or scientific, work. The 
magnificent privileges offered by the 
Public Library, the Athenaeum (by the 
courtesy of Mr. Cutter), and by the Har- 
vard College library, attract a most val- 
uable and interesting social element to 
Boston. Students find that a summer 
may be passed here in comparative inex- 
pensiveness. It is by no means necessary 
to board at a fashionable hotel in order 
to enjoy Boston, nor to doom one's self 
to the Philistine horrors of a boarding- 
house. The furnished rooms to let supply 
a method of living that may be as exclu- 
sive and independent as one pleases, and 
as economical as his necessities indicate. 
The Bostonians, too, who stay at home in 
the summer find the city by no means de- 
serted. The streets are thronged; the 
open horse cars jingle merrily along; the 
evening entertainments of light ojiera 
and comedy are well attended; and moon- 
light sails down the bay or morning ex- 
cursions to Nahant and Nantasket offer 
their enchantments. It is out of the 
question that a seaport city so far north 
as Boston can ever be very warm, and 
the days are for the most part comfort- 
able in temperature and tilled with de- 
lightful interests. 

Sunday Courier. (i824). 309 

Washington Street. It was founded as a 
daily paper by Joseph T. Buckingham, 
the first number having been issued 
March 1, 1824. Mr. Buckingham retired 
from the Courier June 24, 1848. Samuel 
Kettell was its next editor, and at his 
death Isaac W. Frye assumed the duties 
of the position. Afterward, George 
Lunt, the eminent author and poet, be- 
came the editor. Joseph B. INIorse fol- 
lowed him. AVith the close of the year 
1866, the daily edition was discontinued, 
and a company was formed to issue a 
Sunday edition, as at present i)ublished. 
The editors have been AVarren L. Brigham, 
George Parsons Lathrop and Arlo Bates, 
who now conducts it with a high degree 
of literary and journalistic skill. The 
Courier is noted as having been the 
medium for a large number of eminent 
writers. Among its original contiil u- 
tions have been James Russell Lowell's 
notable " Biglow Papers," while such 
distinguished writers as Daniel AVebstrr, 
Rufus Choate, Robert C. AVinthrop, 
Edward Everett, AVilliam H. Prescott, 
George Ticknor and T. AY. Parsons have 
frequently contributed to its columns in 
past years. For some time previous to 
the publication of the Courier as a Sun- 
day paper Joseph B. Travers was associa- 
ted with its management, and is now its

TAX-TRE 



publisher and principal proprietor. Ho 
has succeeded in sustaining the high 
st.aulard early established for the Courier. 
Louis C. Elsou is the musical critic. 
Francis Cliasci writes the enjoyable dxA.- 
ludtic feu il/fdoji, following the late Joseph 
15. Bradford in that capacity. 

Tax-payers. The number of Polls 
in ia85 was 112, 14U. 

Tennis. Boston is the only large 
city in the country possessing a Tennis 
Court. It is located on Buckingham 
Street, near Dartmouth Street, and is in 
charge of Thomas Tettitt, the celebrated 
court-tennis champion of the world. 
This court was built in 1875. 

Times, Sunday. 2o Hawley Street. 
One of the brightest and most readable 
weeklies of the city, is the Times, an old 
established newspaper, issued on Sun- 
day morning. Among its former editors 
have been Robert C. Dunham, J. W. 
Clarke, H. Irving Dillenback and others. 
Air. Dunham was for some years its pub- 
lisher, issuing a daily edition. Mr. 
Clarke's period was signalized by the 
publication of a series of articles upon 
the Moody and Sankey revival which at- 
tracted wide attention. The Times is 
now published by D. S. Knowlton, who is 
also its editor. Special features of the 
Sunday Times are its interesting ed- 
itorials on current events, society mat- 
ters, literary columns, news notes, dra- 
matic and musical departments. Its 
musical news and criticisms are ex- 
tremely complete and well written. 

Time. When it is 12 o'clock, noon, in 
Boston, it is 44 14 ' past four o'clock p. 
in., at Greenwich (England) observatory, 
and 36 minutes past eleven o'clock, p. m. 
at Washington, D. C. 

Transcript, Daily. (i830). 324 
Washington Street. The oldest evening 
paper iii New England. The Transcript 
is the only really literary newspaper in 
America. It is conducted Avith a view to 
gratifying the tastes of the cultured peo- 
ple of" Boston and suburbs, and that mis- 
sion is successfully and admirably ful- 
filled. Nothing finds' a place in the columns 
of the Transcript that cannot be read 
aloud in the drawing-room. The move- 
ments of prize-fighters and others of that 
class are as utterly ignored as if they did 
not exist. The Transcript, however, 
gives all the real news, its facilities in 
that regard being extensive, and the 
very latest telegraphic dispatches are 
always to be found in its various editions. 
Among the editors of the ])aper during 
its existence have been Lynde M. AValter, 
Cornelia M. Walter, Epes Sargent, Daniel 
N. Haskell, William A. Hovey, and Ed- 
ward H. Clement, the present aide editor, 
who assumed the duties of the position 



in 1881. Mr. Clement's literary taste and 
unerring journalistic instincts well fit 
liim for tlie duties of editor of a news- 
l)ai)er of elevated tone. Eminent con- 
tributors have regularly enriched the 
columns of the Transcript — among thein 
E. r. Whipple, Starr King, E. H. Cliapin, 
and others— -and the paper is to-day a 
favorite medium for celebrated writers. 
The musical department, in charge of 
William F. Apthorp, a musician, critic, 
and scholar of rare attainments, is widely 
read. The dramatic column, conducted 
by Francis H. Jenks, is no less interesting. 
The art, literary, and other departments 
are attractive features of this model 
evening newspaper. 

Traveller, Daily. (i845). 31 
State Street. Roland Worthington & 
Co. This popular evening paper was 
established April 1, 1845, being the first 
evening newspaper issued at two cents a 
copy. For quite a period, so Puritanical 
were the ideas of its first publishers, 
Messrs. Upton, Ladd & Co., that they 
absolutely refused to publish advertise- 
ments of theatres. Col. Worthington, 
to-day its chief proprietor aiul manager, 
early' identified with its interests, was 
instrumental in bringing the Traveller 
to the front as a newspaper, and it has 
for years been recognized as a cleanly, 
bright evening paper for the family. 
The bulletins now so generally to be seen 
in front of newspaper offices were intro- 
duced at the Traveller office. The Sat- 
urday edition is made especially attrac- 
tive owin§c to its excellent literary feat- 
ures, original stories and poems being 
presented, and as it is a double sheet it 
furnishes a very large amount of ex- 
tremely readable matter. The special 
features of the Traveller are a Review of 
the AVeek, a Mail-Box department, etc. 
The dramatic and musical columns are 
especially inviting, while the literary 
tone of the paper is high. The letters of 
Mrs. John Sherwood (M. E. W. S.) attract 
universal attention. The staff of the 
Traveller is as follows: Reuben Crooke, 
managing editor; William F. Whitcher, 
leading editorial writer; Stephen O. Sher- 
man, citv editor; Edward J. French, 
telegraph editor; Charles P. Bond, finan- 
cial editor; Arthur Colburn, dramatic 
editor; Fred T. Fuller, Legislative re- 
porter; Lillian AVhiting, literary and art 
critic; Duncan McLean, shipping editor; 
]?enjamin A. Appleton, City Hall re- 
porter; Thomas F. Anderson, special 
writer. 

Trees. Every stranger in Boston 
desires to have jyointed outthe celebrated 
(Jink-go Tree (f4inkgo Biloba of Eastern 
Asia).' Oliver Wendell Holmes has made 
it known throughout the land by an 
fillusion to it in "The Autocrat of the 
Breakfast Table." Thousands of people 
go every year to see this tree, citizens aiid

strang:crs alike being interested in its 
peculiar liistoxy, crowth, and foliage. 
The tree is on the Beacon Street Mall of 
the Common, nearly opposite the Joy- 
Street entrance. It is on the corner of 
this Mall and the walli the farthest to the 
left f roni Jt)y Street. It is plainly labelled, 
and can therefore easily be found. Tliis 
tree was transplanted "to this spot from 
the garden of Gardiner Green, formerly 
on Pemherton Sq. (1835). Otht^r rare trees 
on the Common — in additii.-n to the grand 
old American Elm {Uniui,'< Aiiii-ricaiut)

remarkable Tree), in addition to tine 
Weeping Willows, Horse Chestnuts, 
Beeches, Silver Poplars, Maples, Tulip 
Trees, etc. (See Arnold Arboretum and 
Harvard Botanic Garden). 

Tremont House. (i?t2n). Tremnnt 
Street, cornf^r of Beacon Street. The 
Tremont is one of the oldest of the present 
hotels of Boston. It is conducted on the 
American plan. Its table is noted for its 
excellence, and its rooms are furnished 
witli great elegance. A tone of perfect 
comfort characterizes the entire estab- 
lishment, and one cannot fiiul a more 
desirable temporary or permanent liotel 
residence in the city. The house is espe- 
cially liked by English tourists, wiio find 
about it many ]ioints of resemblance to 
Iv<mdon hotels' of the first class. Charles 
Dickens wrote of it: " It has more gal- 
leries, colonnades, piazzas and passages 
than I can remember or the reader would 
believe." Silas Gurney is the proprietor. 
He has greatly modeniized and improved 
the hotel since lie assumed control of it. 
The Tremojit is one of the great and 
prosperous hotels of the laud. It is kept 
on tiie American plan. 

Tuileries Balcony. The iron 

balcony in front of the third stor>' window 
(on Hereford Street) of the new residence 
of Hon. John F. Andrew (son of the " War- 
Governor " John Albion Andrew) at the 
comer of Commonwealth Avenue and 
Hereford Street, was brought from the 
Tuileries, Paris, France. 

"United States Hotel. (1826). 

Beach Street, between Kingston and 



Lincoln Streets. This house covers nearly 
two acres of ground, and has about 500 
rooms. Numerous families residing in 
the countrv, or in the smaller cities, make 
their winter home at the United States 
Hotel. Its proximity to several of the 
principal railway stations makes it at- 
tractive to large numbers of travellers- 
It has a good patronage from members of 
the tlieatrical profession. It is kept on 
the American plan. Hon. Tilly Haynes, 
the present proprietor, manages it very 
successfully. 

United States Marine Hospi- 
tal. (Northern Atlantic District, port 
of iioston). (1800). Chelsea. Under rea- 
sonal)le conditions strangers are permit- 
ted to visit the hospital and grounds. 

United States Navy Yard- 

Charlestown District. Entrance at the ' 
junction of Wappiug and Water Streets. 
A most interesting place to visit. There 
are seventy buildings, of iron, stone, brick 
and wood. It has an area of eighty-seven 
and a half acres. On the land side is a 
wall of granite twelve feet high, built in 
1825-26. Tlie steriin-r-ngineering building 
has a chimney 240 feet high (higher than 
Bunker Hid* Monument, which is two 
hundred and twenty feet). There is a

Visitors to Faneuil HalL in 

1885 there were about 10,000 visitors to

Walks. The favorite route for 
pedestrians taking their "constitutional " 
IS from the corner of Tremont and Park 
Streets across the Common and Public 
Garden, through Commonwealth Avenue 
Parkway to West Chester Park Street, 
then turning to the right to Beacon Street, 
then to the left over tiieMilldam, through 
Longwood to Brookiine. If a still longer 
walk is desired (me can keep on to Chc'st- 
nut Hill. If already fatigued, street-cars, 
at Coo.idge Corner, run into the city every 
few minutes. There r.re mpny oth r 
pleasant walks in "West Roxbu y, j;p.»u!ica 
Plain, Dorchester and ^Milton, and, in 
fact, the suburbs of Boston furiashi)le;ts- 
ant and picturesque walks in almost every 
direction. 

Weekly Cojumonwaalth. 2") 

Bromficld Street. This popular weekly, 
long identified with the late Hon. ChariLS 
"VV. Slack, its editor and publisher for a 
quarter of a century, and issued as an 
() gan for the discussion of anti-slavery 
questicms, womnn's rights, moral reforms, 
transcendenti'.lism, art, literature, i: usi<;, 
drama, etc., at the death of its cminei t 
proprietor and editor (1885) Avas sold to 
I). N. Thayer & Co. Mr. Thayer reti.ing 
in 188G, the paper is now is-sucd by the 
Commonwealth Publishing Company, the 
general featun s of the i)aper being re- 
tained. In addition a society department 
has been opened and several other 
changes made. The sermons of Tlev. J. 
Kay Applel)ee, of the Parker Memorial 
Church, are still continued. Musical, 
dramatic, art, literary and social gossip 
— local aiui suburban — make the i'ommoii- 
tvealth very attractive to many readers. 

What Gives Boston its Com- 
mercial lianic. The amount of 
business transacted at the Boston Clear- 
ing House is second to that of New York 
only among the great cities of the coun- 
try! The exchanges of the l^oston House 
amounted during 1885 to the following: 
$3,515,700,000. The Philadelphia House 
during the same period had the following 
amount: $2,812,500,000. Chicago: $2,525,- 
600,000. The amount at Paris was $813,- 
200,000. Boston therefore surpassed Paris 
to the extent of §2,702,500,000; exceeded 
those of Chicago $990,100,000; and went 
ahead of Philadelphia to the sum of $703,- 
200,000. Such figures as these dem(m- 
strate Boston's business importance, and 



give her the proud position of the second 
commercial city of the United States. 

Winter Population. The popu- 
lation of Boston is largely augmented 
during the Fall, Winter and Spring 
months— or " the season " — by the com- 
ing into town of numerous wealthy fam- 
ilies residing in other cities in the State, 
including Worcester, Springfield, Salem, 
Lynn, Lowell, Lawrence and other places, 
who take suites in the various elegant 
apartment houses now so rapitUy multi- 
])lying in all the fashionable sections of 
Boston, or locate in the "swell" hotels 
like the Vendome, Brunswick, Oxford, 
Adams, Parker, Young's, etc. The Tre- 
mont, Revere, Commonwealth, American, 
United States and Quincy Houses also 
receive their full quota of such parties. 
By this means the varied great social, 
dramatic, musical, literary and educa- 
tional advantages of a residence in the 
New England metropolis are gained in a 
great degree, and a beneficial change is 
experienced by those who flit to their 
summer homes throughout the Common- 
wealth when the flowers of May an- 
nounce the approach of the " heated 
term." 

Women's Industrial and Ed- 
ucational Union. (1877). 74 Boyl- 
ston Street. For co-operation among 
women. Found(»d by Dr. Harriet Clisby. 
Here is a reading-r'')om, an educati(mal 
de})artment, and an industrial depart- 
ment, where articles made ]>y women are 
for sale. The Union welcomes all women 
to its rooms. The influence of this great 
institution is powerful and far-reaching. 

Wool. Boston has the largest wool 
t "ade of any city in America. The houses 
engaged in it centre chiefly about Fed- 
e-al Street, Mathews Street and vicinity. 
Among tlie principal firms in this bus'i- 
ness are Hilton, Weston & Co., Denny, 
Rice & Co., Luce & IManning, Brown, 
Steese & Clarke, AVilliams & Colurn, 
Dewey, Gould & Dike, Kichols, Dupee & 
Co., Hallowell & Coburn, and Chamberlin 
Bros, & Co.

ton where the great club-houses of the 
Boston Yacht Ciub and the South Boston 
Y'acht Club ai e located. The bay is al- 
most covered with the fleets, present- 
ing a beautiful sight. The victory 
of the "Puritan" lias given Boston the 
right to feel a piide in its vast yachting 
interests. 

Young's Hotel. (1845). Court 
Avenue, Court Sq[uare and Court Street. 



Established by George Young in 1845, 
succeeding Taft's noted Conee-House, 
Y'oung's Hotel has become celebrated as 
a first-class hotel. It is kept on the 
European plan. The present proprietor, 
J. Reed Whipple, is one of the most 
enterprising young landlords in the coun- 
try. The liouse has been enlarged from 
time to time until it has become one of 
the largest in the city. It is especially 
noted for the excellence of its ctiisine. 
It has immense resources for furnishing 
dinners, its three main dining-halls, and 
its two long lunch-counters accommodat- 
ing hundreds of persons simultaneously. 
The ladies' cafe is fitted up sumptuously, 
its decorations being most artistically- 
liarmoni<jus and striking in style. The 
sleeping-rooms are elegantly furnished. 
Y'^oung's is a favorite hotel with clubs, 
numerous organizations dining there 
regularly. Rooms are to be had for $1 
per day upward, according to location. 



UNITED STATES SIGNAL SERVICE. 



Signal Service. The following 
code of signals was adopted by the 
weather bureau May 1,188(5. The indica- 
tions are expressed 'ijy a system of flags, 
raised upon the United States Govern- 
ment Building, Post-Office Square. Flags 
are hoisted at 7.30 a. m., daily, the weather 
forecasts indicated by them covering a 
jieriod of twenty-four hours. Flags 
should be read fro'm the top of the staff 
downward. The signals adopted for the 
a];.]iroach of wind storms are of three 
kinds, viz: 

1. Tho cautionary signal. 

2. The direction signal. 

3. The on-shore sig-iial. 

The cautionary day signal is a square 
red flag with a black'square centre, and a 
red light at night. It is hoisted when a 
wind with a velocity of thirty-five miles 
per hour or over is expected 'within one 
hundred miles of the station where dis- 
played. This velocity is considered dan- 
gerous to all classes of shipping. 

The direction signal is a square flpg 
composed of two horizontal stripes, ore 
black and one white. It is never display- 



ed except with the cautionary signal flag, 
and indicates from what quadrant the 
dangerous wind is expected. For this 
purpose the compass is divided into north- 
east, southeast, southwest and northwest 
quadrants. There is no night signal for 
the direction signal. 

The on-shore signal is a square flag 
composed of four small squares, two 
white and two black, and is only display- 
ed on lake stations. The direction signal 
will not be hoisted with the on-shore. 

In addition to these signals the obser- 
vers will be supplied by wire from Wash- 
ington with information at intervals 
during the display. 

The direction of" the wind will be repre- 
sented as follows: The black bar above 
the white flying ovt'r the cautionary- sig- 
nal indicates a gale Ijlowing from the 
northeast. The white bar above the black 
flying over the cautionary indicates a 
southeast gale. The black bar above the 
white flying under the cautionary indi- 
cates a northwest gale, and the white bar 
above the black flying under the caution- 
ary signal indicates a southwest gale.

Adams, Charles R. (See Colleges 
and Sclioolb). 

Harry, Flora E, (See Colleges 
and Schools). 

Davis, J. W. 1(19 Trcmont Sfeot. 
'Mr. Davis i=? one of the most successtul 
teachers of vocal music in the city. He 
has a hirge number of pupils, represent- 
ing vai ious sections of the country, where 
his reputation as an able aiul thoroutih 
teachec has already gone. His method is 
iin admirable one, and is well calculated 
to d'>volop the voice to the full extent of 
its natural resources. 

Be Angeli:], Z. "., r.Zme. 149A 
Trcmont i^treet. Anions; the eminent 
vocal teachers who make Boston their 
home is Mme. E. M. De Angelis. She 
was born in Florence, Italy; studied with 
Lamperti, the elder, Garcia, Marches!; 
has sung in opera, etc. She located in 
Boston about fifteen years ago. Some of 
her pupils have won high renown on the 
operatic stage. Among her recent re- 
markably promising pupils is MissMattie 
Colby, whose success cannot fail to re- 
flect 'great credit upon her accomplished 
teacher. 

Garrett, Mme. (See Colleges and 
Schools.) 

Hall, Edna, Mme. 206 Dart- 
mouth Strppt. Mrao. Hall occupies an 
enviable })o.-ition among the foicmost 
vocal teachers in the country. If the 
t,-ue test of an instructor's success be to 
measure the results accomplished with 
her ]mpils, Mme. Hall has achieve d a t i- 
uni])h. Pupils come to her from every 
(juarter, drawn hither by the best adver- 
tisement possil>le — thit'of the advance- 
)nent of her pupils, which has been so 
marked as to excite wonder in the minds 
of those who have been witnesses of the 
progress made. Mme. Hall teaches the 
over-tone method, which is the basis of 
her success. 



Osgood, George L. \\^ A Tre- 

mont street. ::Mr Osgood has had con- 
ferred upon him the rare honor of having 
been enrolled among the distinguished 
pupils of Lamperti, of whose excellent 
method Mr. Osgood is so conspicuously 
successful an exponent. He has done 
nmch toward moulding a correct musical 
taste in America. His ability has not 
only been demonstrated with his private 
])upils, but his masterly training of the 
Boylston Club, tlie most artistic vocal 
organization m the country, has been aa 
eminently successful. 

FenneJl, A. E. 157 Tremont Street. 
-Mr. lennell received a thorough course 
of training in Italy and London, and has 
had an extended experience in oratorio 
and church choir service, fitting him as a 
teacher of ability, taste and finish. His 
pupils receive a certain style, indicative 
of genuine artistic culture, which is 
easily distinguishable. His services may 
be had for concert, oratorio, etc.

This Company, E. Wilson & Co., proprie- 
tors, are manufacturers of square and 
upright pianofortes. For the past thirty 
years, they have been engaged in the

important element in the making of these 
instruments. The new mahogany uprights 
made In* this Company are attracting 
wide attention. 

Boston Piano Stool Co. 576 

Washington Street. E. H. Loomis is 
agent for Joshua Briggs' piano stools and 
ottomans, which have found so much 
favor with musicians. These stools are 
so thoroughly constructed, as well as or- 
namental, that they are being adopted 
by i)rincipals of conservatories, music 
schools, seminaries and colleges, as well 
as in private families. 

Briggs, W. H. 576 Wnshington 
Street. As the real merits of the Calen- 
berc & Vaupel Pianofortes become known 
to tlie public of Boston and New England 
their ]iopularity increases. These super- 
ior instruments are rapidly coming to the 
front at fir.st-class concerts, their quality 
of tone, combined with great brilliancy, 
rendering them extremely popular wi*.h 
artists as well as with audiences. 

Chickering &. Sons' Piano- 
fortes. (1«23). 1^12 Tremont Street. 
This famous I'ianofoite house, tlie oldest 
in the United States, has, since its estab- 
lishment sixth-three years ago, manu- 
factured 72,500 instruments, which have 
sung or are still singing the praises of 
the admirable quality and volume of tone, 
the brilliancy, the elastic touch, the ex- 
quisite beauty and finish of the mechan- 
ical environment of " the soul of the 
instrument." The name of this firni 
upon a Pianoforte guarantees its excel- 
lence in every particular. In proposing 
the health of the founder of this great 



house, it was given: "Jonas ChickeringI 
like his own pianos: Upright, Grand, 
Square." 

Frtey C rgan and Fiano Com- 
pany. 159 Tremont htreet. This fam- 
ous musical instrument manufacturing 
company was founded in 1846, and since 
that tinie, during a period of forty years, 
its organs have been sent to almost every 
section of the globe. At Hrattleborough, 
Yt., it has twelve finely-equipped 
factories, employing 600 hands. The Es- 
tey trade-mark is a guaranty of superior 
workmanship in every department of the 
organs or pianos manufactured by them. 
Beauty of tone, power, durability; in 
short, a combination of musical and 
mechanical elements forming a perfect 
instrument. The warerooms in Boston 
are elegantly furnished, and are located 
opposite the Common, in an exceedingly 
pleasant and accessible quarter. 

Fairbanks & Cole. 121 Court 
Street. Tliese renowned teachers of the 
banjo (owing to the fashionable " craze " 
over that instrument, which bids fair to 
become permanent) are as busy as it is 
l)0ssible to be with pupils. As their in- 
struments are manufactured under their 
personal supervision, and as they use 
their own instruction books, pupils have 
especial advantages. Their rooms are 
among the most interesting places to visit 
in the city. Their latest innovation, 
" Walker's 'Wrist-Rest," is a new inven- 
tion that has already met with the hearty 
approval of banjo-players. It is destined 
to come into general use everywhere. 

Hallet & Davis Piano Manu- 
facturing Company. 167 Tremont 
Street. The instniments of this firm

tent of tone, perfection of action, and

ent Agraffe Bridge, used in the manufac- 
ture of all their pianofortes, relieves the 
great downward pressure of the strings 
upon the sounding board, and preserves 
the full, round tone of the instrument, 
holding it in tune, also, for a long period. 
Many eminent virfnosi use the Hallet & 
Davis Pianoforte at their concerts. The 
house has been awarded over sixty first 
prizes.

and breadth of the country. Perfection 
of tone, singing quality arid mechanical 
excellence are the strong points of these 
fine instruments. Mr. W. H. Ivers, of 
this noted firm, was for a (juarter of a 
century connected with the old house of 
Chickerin": & Sons, an exiierieuce which 
has fitted him to superintend the perfect 
construction of a pianoforte. Over eight j 
of the Ivers & Pond Pianofortes have 
been purchased for the New England 
Conservatory of Music, and are now in 
daily use the"re. 

Louis H. Ross & Co's Music

Geo. Herischel, Carlyle Petersilea. W. H. 
Schiiltze, and many others, have given 
emphatic testimonials to the excellence 
of the Pianofortes manufactured by Mc- 
Phail & Co. That all this praise is war- 
ranted, one can have no hesitation in 
aftinning. Among the styles manufac- 
tured by this far-famed house is the Im- 
perial I 'pright,which has a beautiful sing- 
ing quality, a most ductile action, and a 
thoroughness of tone and finish of me- 
chanical construction so noticeable in all 
the instruments coming from this estab- 
lishment. 

Ne-w En;;laiid Organ Co. 1209 
Wa'^hmgton Street. Organized in 1871,

ment. These organs-, exhibited at the 
;Mass. Charitable Mechanics Exhibition 
of 187S in competition with instruments 
of older and famous makers, received 
the award of a first gold medal. The or- 
gans manufactured by this Company, of 
which George T. McLaughlin is the pro- 
prietor, are distingushed for pure, even 
tone, volume, durability, and beauty.

and 150 feet wide. Here are located the 
warerooms and also the main office of the 
company, Thomas F. Scanlan, proprietor. 
iVIr. Scanlan has long been identified 
with the musical instrument manufactur- 
ing interests of Boston, and his enterprise 
and ability are well demonstrated in the 
magnitude and excellence of the work now 
being accomplished under his direction. 
The New England Piano has already been 
approved by thousands of patrons for its 
many fine 'qualities, as well as for the 
reasonable price at which it is sold.

and H. E. lioit, — a progressive series of 
music readers, charts, etc., which has al- 
ready been adopted in the public schools 
of New York, Brooklyn and other large 
cities. For its simple, practical and 
easily-comprehended features this Course 
must eventually come into general use. 
It receives hearty endorsement from the 
most eminent 'instructors. Edgar O. 
Silver, 30 Franklin Street, is general 
agent.

the most valuable violins in the world, 
which have been entrusted to Mr. Grover's 
masterly hands for repairs. Violins are 
forwarded to him fiom every section of 
the country, and are returned in perfect 
condition. Mr. Grover's wonderful abil- 
ity, taste, judgment and enthusiasm so de- 
lighted Ole Bull that the great violinist 
not only gave him his rare Instruments to 
adjust, but imi)arted to him information 
of incalculable advantage relative to vio- 
lin-making.

musi<; dealers in America, and probably

seur Organ, constructed on a new and 
oiiginal principle, which is attracting 
attention from musical jieople every-

268

ler's eurnest and well-directed efforts to 
brinx their superior merits properly be- 
fore the public. The Knabe ranks among 
the few really great pianofortes of the 
world. It has long been a favorite with 
numerous eminent solo pianists, who are 
charmed with its brilliancy, power and 
richness of tone. Only the best materials 
are used in the construction of these fine 
instiuments, a full lirTe of which may be

BOS-PUB 



BOSTON. 



:)llo-n'in": ; 
read by Ralph Waldo Emerson in Faiieuil 
Hall, Dec. 16, 1873, the centennir.l anni- 
versary of the destruction of the tea in 
IJoston Harbor: 

The wild rose and the barberry thorn 

Hung out their summer iirido 
Where now on heated pavements worn 

The feet of millions stride. 
Fair rose the i)lanted hills f ehind 

Tlie good town on the bay, 
And where the Western hills declined 

The prairie stretched away. 
What care though rival cities soar 

Along the stormy coast, 
Penn's town, New York and Baltimore, 

If Boston knew the most ! 
******* 
Bad news from George on the English 
throne : 

"You are thriving well," said he 
"Now by these presents be it known 

You shall pay us a tax on tea: 
'Tis very small",— no load at all, 

Honor enough that we send the call! " 

" Not so," said Boston, " good, my lord, 

We pay your Governors here 
Abundant'for their bed and board, 

Six thousand pounds a year. 
(Your Highness knows our homely word), 

Millions for self-government, 
But for tribute never a cent." 

The cargo came! and who could blame 

If Indians seized the tea, 
And — chest by chest — let down the 
same 

Into the laughing sea? 
Forirhat avail fhe]>Ioiigh or sail, 

Or land or life if Freedom fail? 



The townsmen braved the English King, 
Found friendship in the French, 

Aiul Honor joined the patriot ring 
Low on their wooden bench. 

O bounteous seas that never fail ! 

O day remembered yet ! 
O happy port that spied the sail 

Which wafted Lafayette ! 
Pole-star of light in Europe's night. 
That never faltered from the right. 
Kings shook with fear; old empires crave 

The secret force to find 
Which fired the little State to save 

The rights of all mankind. 



The sea returning; day by day 

Restores the world-wide mart; 
So let each dweller on the Bay 
Fold Boston in his heart, 
Till these echoes be choked with snows 
Or over the town blue ocean flows. 

Let the blood of her hundred thousands 

Throb in each manly vein; 
And the wit of all her wisest 
Make sunshine in her lirain. 
Foryovi can teach the lightning speech, 
And* round the globe your \oices 
reach. 



And each shall care for other, 
And each to each shall bend; 

To the poor a noble brother, 
To the good an equal friend. 

A blessing throitgh ihe acres fhits 
Shield all i/nj roofs and. toivcrs! 

God vith the fathers, so iiith ks, 
Thou darlimj town of ours!

of the Cunard Line to arrive at Boston 
was the "Brittania," which left Liver- 
pool July 4, 1840. She was 14 days and 8 
hours in making the passage. The Cunard 
steamships were run regularly to Boston 
from that time. (It was not imtil eight 
years after that the line began to run 
steamships to New York also.) The pres- 
ent fleet between Boston and Liverpool 
includes the famous "Gallia," the "Both- 
nia," "Catalonia," " Scythia," " Cepha- 
lonia," " Pavonia," etc. The popularity 
of the Boston line is increasing every 
year. 

Fairbanks & Cole occupy a fore- 
most position as manufacturers of and 
dealers in banjos, an instrument which 
is becoming so fashionable with young 
ladies at the present time. They also 
teach this popular instrument. The rep- 
utation of their establishment is rapidly 
extending throughout the country. The 
excellence of their banjos, which have 
repeatedly taken prizes at various exhi- 
bitions, is endorsed by leading musicians. 
Their system of instruction has proved 
so successful that their pupils are among 
the best performers on this instrument. 
They deserve their great and rapidly in- 
creasing popularity. They are located 
very centrally at ITo Tremont Street, op- 
posite the Common, lines of street rail- 
ways, from all sections of the city, passing 
the door. 



Gold and Silver Wares. Palm- 
er, Bachelder & Co., 146 Tremont Street, 
have a beautiful assortment in gold and 
silver watches, French clocks, bronzes, 
and objects of art. This firm rank 
among the oldest in the city for honest 
dealing and reliability cannut be excel- 
led.

Home and Day School. Mrs. 
8. H. Hayes, No, 68 Chester Square. This 
school will enter upon its sixteenth year, 
Tuesday, October 4, 1887. The school- 
building has been occupied several years, 
and has proved thoroughly adapted to 
school purposes. It is situated on one of 
the most beautiful parks of the city, and 
heated by steam throughout. Great at- 
tention is given to the sanitary condition 
of the house, especially with regard to 
plumbing and ventilation. Rooms are 
provided for nine resident pupils, and 
ample and agreeable accommodations for 
a large number of day pupils. Send for 
circular and terms. 

Home and Day School for 
Young Ladies. Miss H. E. Giiman, 
Ko. 44 Rutland Square. It is the aim of 
the school to secure to resident pupils the 
results of a consecutive, uninterrupted 
course of study, withcmt the sacrifice of 
all the advantages of home life. To this 
end all of the arrangements of the house 
are made. The young ladies of the family 
are much in the society of their teachers, 
and particular attention is given to their 
general manners and deportment. The 
next school year will open September 28, 
1887, and wi'll close June 15, 1888. For 
terms, send for circular. 

Home and Day School for 
Young JLadies. Miss Abby H. 
Johnson, 18 Newbury Street, Boston. The 
next school year will open September 
28th, 1887, and will close June 14th, 1888. 
This school is situated in the best part of 
the city, and ranks among our best female 
schools. The common and higher English 
branches-, the ancient and modern lan- 
guages are carefully taught, and the 
most conscientious care is taken and ex- 
tended to all pupils attending this school. 
For terms, etc., send for circular. 

Hotel Nantasket. Nantasket 
Beach, Boston Harbor. No seaside hotel 
in the country eclipses this in attractive- 
ness or popularity. It is a grand struct- 
ure, admirably fitted for the accommo- 
dation of a large number of guests; its 
rooms are finely furnished; its table is 
celebrated for its excellence, and every 
appointment of the hotel is maintained 
at the high standard required by the 
best class of the public who are seeking 
rest and recreation. Among the princi- 
pal attractions are concerts given every 
afternoon and evening by Reeves' Band; 
billiards, boating, fishing, bathing, driv- 
ing, etc. Messrs Russell & Sturgis — 
also proprietors of the Rockland House 
— conduct the Hotel Nantasket. (See 
Nantasket.) 

Hygienic Dress. Mrs. Olivia P. 

Flynt is the inventor and manufacturer 
of the perfect weather protector as well 
as of improved hygienic under-dress for 



women and children. Dress reform for 
ladies, according to one of the eminent 
men of the day, is one of the great ques- 
tions of the time ; and it is a well-estab- 
lished fact that Mrs. Flynt actually 
preceded the organization of the Dress 
Reform Committee by a year or more, as 
her first patent was granted in 1873. Mrs. 
Flynt was awarded medals conferring 
highest honors by the Centennial Exhibi- 
tion, 1876, and by the Mass. Charitable 
Mechanics Exhibition, 1881. Ladies will 
find much to interest them at Mrs. 
Flynt's, 319 Columbus Avenue. She h.;s 
published an extremely interesting and 
valuable " Manual." 

Immigrants. The number of im- 
migrants landed at Boston during the 
year ending June 30, 1885, was 25,6ti(), 
making this city the second port of entry 
in the United States. 

Mme. Elizabeth £. Garrett 

is one of America's foremost teachers of 
vocal music, and ranks well with the lead- 
ing teachers of Europe. She makes a 
specialty of placing the voi-ce, and teach- 
es accordinj^ to the method which she 
sometime since discovered, and which 
has proved so successful as to elicit the 
admiration of Patti, the greatest execu- 
tant of the day, and other leading artists, 
and especially has it received the en- 
dorsement of iVIme. Marchesi, the famous 
Paris teacher, who finds nothing to 
change in the method of Mme. Garrett, 
who teaches the natural or anatomical 
system. Her success with pupils is her 
best testimonial. Mme. Garrett's ad- 
dress is Hotel Lafayette, 200 Columbus 
Avenue. 

New Method of Dentistry. 

One of the greatest boons to mankind 
was the introduction of the now cele- 
brated Sheffield Tooth Crown system of 
replacing teeth. The eminent dental 
practitioner. Dr. W. A. Lyon, 157 Boylston 
Street, has succeeded in establishing this 
system in the favor of the most promi- 
nent citizens of Boston and NewEugland. 
who have testified to the superiority of 
the method over their own signatures. 
Dr. Lyons discards entirely the cumber- 
some plates formerly in use, and succeeds 
in placing teeth in natural position, giv- 
ing them all the beauty and service of 
those lost by accident or decay. Those 
interested should seek his advice, fur 
which no charge is made, and read the 
descriptive pamphlet furnished free. 

Park House. This noted English 
chop-house was established in 1842 by 
Thomas D. Park — father of W. D. Park, 
one of the present proprietors — on what 
is now a part of the site of the Post-Of- 
fice Building. In 1848 it was removed to 
Morton Place, Milk Street, thence to 
Central Court. In 1874 it was opened iu

eigners and ti-a veiled Americans of being 
the best chop-house on the genuine Eng- 
lish plan in the United States.

enced teachers, will open October S, 1887,

large, centrally located and extremely 
popular hotel is on Beach Street, near 
several of the principal railway stations. 
Its landlord is Mr. Tilly Hayiics, one of 
Boston's best-known and niost public- 
spirited citizens. Its accessibility renders 
it particularly attractive to families Avho

It is especially desirable as a Avinter 
home for New England people, while it 
is a favorite house for tourists and mer- 
chants from other cities. It is decidedly 
homelike in all its characteristics. Its 
table is renowned throughout the country 
for variety and excellence.

Miller, formerly 87 AValtham Street. The 
pupils under .Airs. Miller's instruction 
make rapid progress by the use of the

HOTEL WAQUOIT. 

Our System of Treatment is SAFE, SURE and Comparatively Painless. 

N. B. — We use no Dangerous Mineral or Vegetable Caustic, Poisons or 
Acids, so commonly relied upon by many who practice the old and unsuccessful method of 
Dangerous Experimetital treatment. The Knife cr Powerful Caustics always destroys 
healthy tissue; causing great pain and annoyance for months, and even years, after such 
barbarous treatment ; more frequently than otherwise the patient is carried down to an 
untimely grave. 

51^^ REMEMBER that the use of the Knife is always Accompanied with 
GREAT Danger. In every case of Cancer or Tumor that we attempt to treat, 
THE Patient is Greatly Benefited, and in the Early Stages a Positive and 
Radical Cure is Effected.
